# Docker stop

To stop YDB in Docker, run the following command:

```bash
docker stop ydb-local
```

If the `--rm` flag was specified at startup, the container will be deleted after stopping.

## Kill Docker container with YDB

To delete a Docker container with YDB, run the following command:

```bash
docker kill ydb-local
```

If you want to clean up the file system, delete your work directory using the `rm -rf ~/ydbd` command. This will permanently remove all data inside the local YDB cluster.
