Destroying a hosted cluster on bare metal¶

You might want to remove a hosted cluster if you are no longer using it, you are trying to reduce resources, or the hosted cluster is experiencing issues that are difficult to resolve.

Destroying a hosted cluster on bare metal by using the CLI¶

If you created a hosted cluster by using the command-line interface (CLI), you can destroy that hosted cluster and its back-end resources by running a command.

Procedure

Delete the hosted cluster and its back-end resources by running the following command:
```
$ oc delete -f <hosted_cluster_config>.yaml
```
Specify the name of the configuration YAML file that was rendered when you created the hosted cluster.

Note

If you created the hosted cluster without specifying the --render and --render-sensitive flags in its configuration file, you must remove its back-end resources manually.

Destroying a hosted cluster on bare metal by using the web console¶

You can use the multicluster engine Operator web console to destroy a hosted cluster on bare metal.

Procedure

In the console, click Infrastructure → Clusters.
On the Clusters page, select the cluster that you want to destroy.
In the Actions menu, select Destroy clusters to remove the cluster.
