Deleting an application using Helm

Let's perform the following steps to remove an application deployed with Helm from your Kubernetes cluster:

  1. Use the helm ls command with the --all parameter to list all the releases, including deleted revisions:
helm ls --all
NAME REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION NAMESPACE
my-mysqlrelease 6 Thu Aug 8 02:34:13 2019 DEPLOYED mysql-1.3.0 5.7.14 default
  1. Delete a release using the --purge parameter. The following command will completely remove the application from your cluster:
helm delete --purge my-mysqlrelease

The preceding command will immediately terminate the Deployment and remove the Helm release from your cluster.
