To cleanup Trilio for Kubernetes, the custom resources, CRDs and the Operator must be removed from the Kubernetes cluster or namespace. There are two ways users can cleanup T4K - automated (via a Trilio provided plugin) or manually removing all the items.
Trilio provides a plugin that automates the uninstall of all the resources and objects created to support the solution. The automation provides a non-interactive mode to allow unattended uninstall of the solution, and also provides an interactive mode to specifically uninstall different components. For further details, refer to the T4K Cleanup Plugin.
Users can manually cleanup components of the Trilio solution using the steps mentioned below
