helm uninstall

uninstall a release

Synopsis

This command takes a release name and uninstalls the release.

It removes all of the resources associated with the last release of the chart as well as the release history, freeing it up for future use.

Use the '--dry-run' flag to see which releases will be uninstalled without actually uninstalling them.

Use '--cascade foreground' with '--wait' to ensure resources with finalizers are fully deleted before the command returns.

helm uninstall RELEASE_NAME [...] [flags]

Options

--cascade string Must be "background", "orphan", or "foreground". Selects the deletion cascading strategy for the dependents. Defaults to background. Use "foreground" with --wait to ensure resources with finalizers are fully deleted before returning. (default "background")
--description string add a custom description
--dry-run simulate a uninstall
-h, --help help for uninstall
--ignore-not-found Treat "release not found" as a successful uninstall
--keep-history remove all associated resources and mark the release as deleted, but retain the release history
--no-hooks prevent hooks from running during uninstallation
--timeout duration time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 5m0s)
--wait WaitStrategy[=watcher] wait until resources are ready (up to --timeout). Use '--wait' alone for 'watcher' strategy, or specify one of: 'watcher', 'hookOnly', 'legacy'. Default when flag is omitted: 'hookOnly'. (default hookOnly)
