If you want to completely remove discourse:

1. List you local docker images from the host: `docker images`
2. Find the discourse image. It should look something like

```plaintext
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
discourse/discourse 1.3.10 95332d4db04b 5 weeks ago 1.52GB

```

3. Remove the image: `docker image rm discourse/discourse:1.3.10`. Remember to use the exact same name and version your docker output showed you.
4. Remove the location you cloned the discourse. If you followed the installation instructions, it should be /var/discourse, so `rm -r /var/discourse` should do it.
5. [optional]. If you don’t need docker anymore, remove it from your machine.
