How to stop a dangling docker-compose up

Question

sometime ago I ran a docker-compose up in some directory. Everytime I reboot my computer docker restarts these processes but I don't want this anymore. Even if I manually stop the containers with docker stop they are restarted again after a restart.

Sadly, I think I removed the directory where I executed docker-compose up and down won't work because of this. Any idea where I can find a solution? I was also not sure what to google..

Regards,

@edit no duplicate since it is not directly connected to the restart policy of docker.

Answer 1

The solution was to delete the containers.
