# diagrid k8s-operator uninstall

Uninstall the Catalyst Kubernetes operator

### Description

Uninstall the Catalyst Kubernetes operator from a cluster.

This removes the operator's Helm release (deployment, RBAC, webhook
configuration and the cert-manager objects the chart created). A missing
release is treated as success, so the command is safe to re-run.

The Catalyst service account and API key that 'install' created in the control
plane are left in place by default — they may be shared with operators on other
clusters. Pass --delete-credentials to prune the API keys this tool minted for
the operator (matching --api-key-name), or --delete-service-account to remove
the whole service account (and with it all of its keys).

cert-manager and any namespaces you migrated to Catalyst are left untouched.

```
diagrid k8s-operator uninstall [flags]
```

### Examples

```

  # Uninstall the operator from the current kube context
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall

  # Target a specific cluster
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall --context my-eks

  # Also prune the API keys this tool minted for the operator
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall --delete-credentials

  # Remove the operator and its Catalyst service account entirely
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall --delete-service-account

  # Preview what would be removed without deleting anything
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall --dry-run

  # Skip the confirmation prompt (e.g. in CI)
  diagrid k8s-operator uninstall --yes

```
