Uninstall c8s

Remove a c8s Helm release and clean up node-side artifacts.

Run c8s uninstall with the namespace and release used at install time (defaults: c8s-system and c8s):

c8s uninstall

The command removes the Helm release, then sweeps c8s host artifacts such as the NRI image-policy plugin, RA-TLS mesh netfilter state, and RKE2 preparation template from nodes. Use --host-sweep=false to skip that cleanup or --host-sweep-only if the Helm release is already gone.

If a pod still holds a c8s encrypted volume, uninstall refuses to proceed because the volume mapping cannot close safely. Scale the workload down first. --force allows uninstall to continue, but the mapping may remain until you clean it up.

--delete-crds also deletes the ConfidentialWorkload CRD and all its objects. --delete-namespace removes the release namespace and anything left in it. Both flags are off by default. See the CLI reference for the full options.
