Uninstallation

Completely remove Chainstack Self-Hosted from your Kubernetes cluster using cpctl, including cleanup of persistent volumes and namespace resources.

Uninstallation permanently deletes all data including deployed nodes, configuration, and user data. This cannot be undone. Use --keep-pvcs if you want to preserve blockchain node data.

Basic uninstall

cpctl uninstall

This removes the Helm release and deletes all associated PersistentVolumeClaims. You will be prompted to confirm before anything is deleted.

Preserve data

To remove the Control Panel but keep the blockchain node data on disk:

cpctl uninstall --keep-pvcs

This is useful if you plan to reinstall and reattach the existing volumes.

Preview before deleting

To see what would be deleted without actually deleting anything:

cpctl uninstall --dry-run
