+## Removing volumes
+
+A Docker data volume persists after a container is deleted. You can create named
+or anonymous volumes. Named volumes have a specific source form outside the
+container, for example `awesome:/bar`. Anonymous volumes have no specific
+source. When the container is deleted, you should instruction the Engine daemon
+to clean up anonymous volumes. To do this, use the `--rm` option, for example:
+
+```bash
+$ docker run --rm -v /foo -v awesome:/bar busybox top,
+```
+
+This command creates an anonymous `/foo` volume. When the container is removed,
+Engine removes the `/foo` volume but not the `awesome` volume.

 ## Important tips on using shared volumes
 
-Multiple containers can also share one or more data volumes. However, multiple containers writing to a single shared volume can cause data corruption. Make sure your applications are designed to write to shared data stores.

-Data volumes are directly accessible from the Docker host. This means you can read and write to them with normal Linux tools. In most cases you should not do this as it can cause data corruption if your containers and applications are unaware of your direct access.
