Delete the service running on the swarm

The remaining steps in the tutorial don't use the helloworld service, so now you can delete the service from the swarm.

1. If you haven't already, open a terminal and ssh into the machine where you run your manager node. For example, the tutorial uses a machine named manager1.

2. Run docker service rm helloworld to remove the helloworld service.

   ```console $ docker service rm helloworld

   helloworld ```

3. Run docker service inspect <SERVICE-ID> to verify that the swarm manager removed the service. The CLI returns a message that the service is not found:

   console $ docker service inspect helloworld [] Status: Error: no such service: helloworld, Code: 1

4. Even though the service no longer exists, the task containers take a few seconds to clean up. You can use docker ps on the nodes to verify when the tasks have been removed.

   ```console $ docker ps

Next, you'll set up a new service and apply a rolling update.
