# Uninstalling a cluster on Azure Stack Hub {#uninstalling-cluster-azure-stack-hub}

You can remove a cluster that you deployed to Azure Stack Hub.

## Removing a cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure {#installation-uninstall-clouds_uninstall-cluster-azure-stack-hub}

To remove an OpenShift Container Platform cluster that uses installer-provisioned infrastructure, you can use the installation program and the installation files from your original deployment to uninstall the cluster from your cloud platform.

> [!NOTE]
> After uninstallation, check your cloud provider for any resources that were not removed properly, especially with user-provisioned infrastructure clusters. Some resources might exist because either the installation program did not create the resource or could not access the resource.

**Prerequisites**

- You have a copy of the installation program that you used to deploy the cluster.
- You have the files that the installation program generated when you created your cluster.

**Procedure**

1. From the directory that has the installation program on the computer that you used to install the cluster, run the following command:

   ```terminal
   $ ./openshift-install destroy cluster \
   --dir <installation_directory> --log-level info
   ```

   where:

   `<installation_directory>`
   :   Specify the path to the directory that you stored the installation files in.

   `--log-level info`
   :   To view different details, specify `warn`, `debug`, or `error` instead of `info`.

   > [!NOTE]
   > You must specify the directory that includes the cluster definition files for your cluster. The installation program requires the `metadata.json` file in this directory to delete the cluster.
2. Optional: Delete the `<installation_directory>` directory and the OpenShift Container Platform installation program.
