Container not deleted with DELETE

[way0utwest]

I ran the DELETE command and thought I'd have the container removed, but it isn't. It also isn't re-used, so when I start with a new context, I get a new container.

I would expect if I lose context, that you also delete the container. Preferably, I'd have the option to specify if I delete a container and a way to specify which container to use on start.

sqlcmd does delete the container with:

sqlcmd delete

Per previous feedback from a user, we do allow the sqlcmd delete to succeed if the container has already been deleted.

If there is a situation where the container isn't being deleted, please run sqlcmd delete --verbosity 4 and add the output to this issue.

Doesn't work. Ran delete, then docker container ls. I see this:

Ah, I see the function:

userDatabaseSafetyCheck.

Is being called... the error is:

"Unable to continue, a user (non-system) database ... is present"

Sqlcmd is failing the delete because it has detected a user database is present in the container. It is outputting the following hint:

"Pass in the flag --force to override this safety check for user (non-system) databases"

This check gives the user a chance to confirm they really want to delete left over user data.

Would you like me to submit doc PRs for some of this? Either here and/or MS learn?

The error is crystal clear, you cannot DELETE with a user DB

PS C:\Users\felip> sqlcmd delete
Current context is "mssql". Do you want to continue? (Y/N)
Y
Verifying no user (non-system) database (.mdf) files

HINT:
  1. If the database is mounted, run `sqlcmd query "use master; DROP DATABASE [<database_name>]"`
  2. Pass in the flag --force to override this safety check for user (non-system) databases

Error: Unable to continue, a user (non-system) database (/var/opt/mssql/data/testDB.mdf) is present
PS C:\Users\felip>

I tested with the --flag and works fine

We are working on auto-generating documentation from sqlcmd --help for learn.microsoft.com. This should help with the docs aspects (we do cover this safety check in sqlcmd delete --help examples)
