Deleting Operators from a cluster

From the Operators → Installed Operators page, scroll or type a keyword into the Filter by name to find the Operator you want. Then, click on it.

On the right-hand side of the Operator Details page, select Uninstall Operator from the Actions drop-down menu.

When prompted by the Remove Operator Subscription window, you can select the Also completely remove the Operator from the selected namespace check box to remove all components related to the Operator. This removes the CSV, which in turn removes the Pods and Deployments associated with the Operator. Leaving this unchecked results in only the Subscription being removed.

Select Remove. This Operator will stop running and no longer receive updates.

Check the current version of the subscribed Operator (for example, jaeger) in the currentCSV field:

$ oc get subscription jaeger -n openshift-operators -o yaml | grep currentCSV
  currentCSV: jaeger-operator.v1.8.2

Delete the Operator’s Subscription (for example, jaeger):

$ oc delete subscription jaeger -n openshift-operators
subscription.operators.coreos.com "jaeger" deleted

Delete the CSV for the Operator in the target namespace using the currentCSV value from the previous step:

$ oc delete clusterserviceversion jaeger-operator.v1.8.2 -n openshift-operators
clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com "jaeger-operator.v1.8.2" deleted
