How to uninstall Radius

Learn how to uninstall the Radius control plane from your Kubernetes cluster

Uninstalling Radius removes the Radius control plane from the Kubernetes cluster. You can choose whether to retain your Radius configuration and resource data or delete it entirely.

Retain resources

To uninstall the Radius control plane while keeping your Radius configuration and data, run:

rad uninstall kubernetes

All Radius services running in the radius-system namespace are removed, but Radius configuration and data remain persisted in the Kubernetes cluster. This lets you reinstall Radius later without losing your existing environments and applications.

Delete resources

To completely remove Radius, including all configuration and data, delete the radius-system namespace after uninstalling:

rad uninstall kubernetes --purge

All Radius configuration and data stored in the namespace is removed. This completely removes Radius from the cluster.
