Delete a cluster

When managing Kubernetes clusters with PDS, there may be instances where you need to force delete a cluster that cannot be removed through the usual deletion process. This could be due to the cluster being unresponsive or having issues that prevent a graceful removal.

To remove a target cluster:

1. In the Clusters Overview page, select a cluster that you want to delete and click on the vertical ellipsis menu icon.

2. Select Forget Cluster from the options.

3. In the Delete Cluster -> Cluster Name text box window, enter the cluster name you want to delete.

4. Select Forget Cluster.

   note

   Use the cluster deletion feature with caution, as it cannot be undone.
