Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open a site.
    1. On the main toolbar, click Products icon → Cogwheel icon Settings.
      The Settings page opens.
    2. In the tab pane, click Edge.
      The Sites tab opens and shows a table with an overview of your sites.
    3. In the site overview, click the name of a site.
      The site page appears.
  2. In the top right corner, click Site Actions → Delete Site.
    The Delete Edge site wizard starts.
  3. Click Delete.
    The Edge sites overview appears, without the deleted Edge site.
  4. On the server from which you manage your cluster, run one of the following commands. If your Edge site has a custom namespace, you must add -n <my-namespace> to the command.
    • With terminal logging:
      Copy
      ./edgecli uninstall
    • With terminal and file logging:
      Copy
      ./edgecli uninstall 2>&1 | tee "edge-installer-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S").log"
    The uninstall command automatically creates a backup of your site in the current working directory with file name format: edge-backup-SITE_ID-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.yaml. You can modify this behavior by adding the one of the following flags to the command:
    • --path=/tmp/edge/backup: Specify a different location for the backup file.
    • --no-backup:Skip the backup process.
Important If you do not plan on reinstalling your Edge site on the same Kubernetes cluster as it was originally installed on, then you must run the following command after you reinstall on the new cluster to delete unmanaged resources:
Copy
kubectl delete priorityclass job application platform
                    kubectl delete crd clusterworkflowtemplates.argoproj.io \
                    cronworkflows.argoproj.io workflowartifactgctasks.argoproj.io workfloweventbindings.argoproj.io workflows.argoproj.io workflowtaskresults.argoproj.io \
