# plugin disable (experimental)

```markdown
Usage:  docker plugin disable PLUGIN

Disable a plugin

Options:
      --help   Print usage
```

Disables a plugin. The plugin must be installed before it can be disabled,
see [`docker plugin install`](plugin_install.md).


The following example shows that the `no-remove` plugin is installed
and enabled:

```bash
$ docker plugin ls

NAME                  TAG                 DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
tiborvass/no-remove   latest              A test plugin for Docker   true
```

To disable the plugin, use the following command:

```bash
$ docker plugin disable tiborvass/no-remove

tiborvass/no-remove

$ docker plugin ls

NAME                  TAG                 DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
tiborvass/no-remove   latest              A test plugin for Docker   false
```
