# [NAME](#NAME)

podman-secret-rm - Remove one or more secrets

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**podman secret rm** \[*options*] *secret* \[...]

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Removes one or more secrets.

**podman secret rm** is safe to use on secrets that are in use by a container. The created container has access to the secret data because secrets are copied and mounted into the container when a container is created. If a secret is deleted and another secret is created with the same name, the secret inside the container does not change; the old secret value still remains.

# [OPTIONS](#OPTIONS)

## **--all**, **-a**

Remove all existing secrets.

## **--help**

Print usage statement.

## **--ignore**, **-i**

Ignore errors when specified secrets are not present.

# [EXAMPLES](#EXAMPLES)

```
$ podman secret rm mysecret1 mysecret2
```
