Delete the service (Engine)

Delete the service running on the swarm

The remaining steps in the tutorial don’t use the helloworld service, so now you can delete the service from the swarm.

1. If you haven’t already, open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you run your manager node. For example, the tutorial uses a machine named manager1.

2. Run docker service rm helloworld to remove the helloworld service.

   $ docker service rm helloworld
   
   helloworld
   

3. Run docker service inspect <SERVICE-ID> to verify that the swarm manager removed the service. The CLI returns a message that the service is not found:

   $ docker service inspect helloworld
   []
   Error: no such service: helloworld
   

What’s next?

In the next step of the tutorial, you set up a new service and apply a rolling update.
