Here is a quick reference for managing Docker volumes:

  • To create a new volume named myVolume, run:

    docker volume create myVolume
    
  • To list all existing volumes:

    docker volume ls
    
  • To remove a specific volume named myVolume:

    docker volume rm myVolume
    

    Note: Removing a volume will permanently delete all data stored within it, and there is no way to retrieve it afterwards.
