Applicable to both Classic and Federated modes

If you are running Portworx Backup as a Helm-based install, you can uninstall it using Helm.

Follow the steps below to uninstall any version of Portworx Backup:

Enter the following helm uninstall command with the --namespace flag and the namespace your Portworx Backup cluster is installed on:

helm uninstall px-central --namespace <pxb-namespace>
```

note

Federated mode additional cleanup: Uninstalling Portworx Backup removes only the backup cluster components. The following additional cleanup is required for Federated mode deployments:

The Portworx Enterprise installation and Stork deployment on each application cluster are not removed by this process. Remove them separately if no longer needed, following the Portworx Enterprise uninstall procedure.
Azure Workload Identity (WLI) bindings and Managed Identity role assignments on each application cluster must be removed manually in Azure if no longer needed.
Backup data in Azure Blob Storage is not deleted. Clean up the storage account or container manually if required.
