uninstall docker from windows - DockerToolbox

unistall docker from windows

i'd like to uninstall completely docker for windows (Dockertoolbox) to clean the system well and reinstall it again

so i've began to remove the default virtual machine like the documentation says: https://docs.docker.com/toolbox/toolbox_install_windows/#how-to-uninstall-toolbox

so i did docker-machine rm default

C:\Users\a.pinato>docker-machine rm default
About to remove default

Are you sure? (y/n): y
