To delete a container using the lxc (LXD) command on Linux, you can use the following command:
lxc delete <container name>
For example, if the container name is “mycontainer”, you would run the following command:
lxc delete mycontainer
This command will delete the container and all its associated data, such as its configuration, snapshots, and storage.
If you want to delete a container but keep its data, you can use the following command:
lxc delete --force --keep-data <container name>
You can also use the lxc list command to check the containers that you have created, and the lxc stop command to stop a running container before deleting it.
Note: If the container is running, you will need to stop it before being able to delete it. If you don’t want to stop the container you can use the --force option as mentioned above.
