Uninstall PX-CSI

You might need to uninstall Portworx CSI if it was installed in the wrong namespace or if you plan to decommission a cluster. You can uninstall Portworx CSI from your clusters using the Portworx Operator by updating the StorageCluster object.

note

The PVCs, backend volumes, and snapshots are not deleted. These resources remain in a stale state.
