The following describes how to delete Operators from a cluster using either the web console or the CLI.

Deleting Operators from a cluster using the web console

Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the web console.

Prerequisites
  • Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster web console using an account with cluster-admin permissions.

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

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

  3. 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.

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

Deleting Operators from a cluster using the CLI

Cluster administrators can delete installed Operators from a selected namespace by using the CLI.

Prerequisites
  • Access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster using an account with cluster-admin permissions.

  • oc command installed on workstation.

Procedure
  1. 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
  2. Delete the Operator’s Subscription (for example, jaeger):

    $ oc delete subscription jaeger -n openshift-operators
    subscription.operators.coreos.com "jaeger" deleted
  3. 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
