## Examples
### <aname="all-inactive"></a> Remove all inactive builders (--all-inactive)
Remove builders that are not in running state.
```console
$ docker buildx rm --all-inactive
WARNING! This will remove all builders that are not in running state. Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
```
### <aname="builder"></a> Override the configured builder instance (--builder)
Same as [`buildx --builder`](buildx.md#builder).
### <aname="keep-state"></a> Keep BuildKit state (--keep-state)
### <aname="force"></a> Do not prompt for confirmation (--force)
Keep BuildKit state, so it can be reused by a new builder with the same name.
Currently, only supported by the [`docker-container` driver](buildx_create.md#driver).
Do not prompt for confirmation before removing inactive builders.
```console
$ docker buildx rm --all-inactive --force
```
### <aname="keep-daemon"></a> Keep the buildkitd daemon running (--keep-daemon)
Keep the buildkitd daemon running after the buildx context is removed. This is useful when you manage buildkitd daemons and buildx contexts independently.
Currently, only supported by the [`docker-container` and `kubernetes` drivers](buildx_create.md#driver).
### <aname="keep-state"></a> Keep BuildKit state (--keep-state)
Keep BuildKit state, so it can be reused by a new builder with the same name.
Currently, only supported by the [`docker-container` driver](buildx_create.md#driver).
