Chapter 2. Uninstalling OpenShift Pipelines

Cluster administrators can uninstall the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator by performing the following steps:

  1. Delete the Custom Resources (CRs) that were added by default when you installed the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.

  2. Delete the CRs of the optional components such as Tekton Hub that depend on the Operator.

    Important

    If you uninstall the Operator without removing the CRs of optional components, you cannot remove them later.

  3. Uninstall the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.

Uninstalling only the Operator will not remove the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines components created by default when the Operator is installed.

Delete the Custom Resources (CRs) created by default during installation of the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.

Procedure

  1. In the Administrator perspective of the web console, navigate to Administration Custom Resource Definition.
  2. Type config.operator.tekton.dev in the Filter by name box to search for the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator CRs.
  3. Click CRD Config to see the Custom Resource Definition Details page.

  4. Click the Actions drop-down menu and select Delete Custom Resource Definition.

    Note

    Deleting the CRs will delete the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines components, and all the tasks and pipelines on the cluster will be lost.

  5. Click Delete to confirm the deletion of the CRs.
Important

Repeat the procedure to find and remove CRs of optional components such as Tekton Hub before uninstalling the Operator. If you uninstall the Operator without removing the CRs of optional components, you cannot remove them later.
