Uninstall with ArgoCD

For ArgoCD installations, use the following steps to clean up your environment.

Port-forward the Argo CD server on port 9999.

kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 9999:443

Open the Argo CD UI.
Log in with the admin username and k8sgateway password.
Find the application that you want to delete and click x.
Select Foreground and click Ok.
Verify that the pods were removed from the gloo-system namespace.
```
kubectl get pods -n gloo-system
```
Example output:
```
No resources found in gloo-system namespace.
```

Port-forward the Argo CD server on port 9999.

kubectl port-forward svc/argocd-server -n argocd 9999:443

argocd login localhost:9999 --username admin --password k8sgateway --insecure

Delete the application.

argocd app delete gloo-gateway-oss-helm --cascade --server localhost:9999 --insecure

Example output:

Are you sure you want to delete 'gloo-gateway-oss-helm' and all its resources? [y/n] y
application 'gloo-gateway-oss-helm' deleted

Verify that the pods were removed from the gloo-system namespace.
```
kubectl get pods -n gloo-system
```
Example output:
```
No resources found in gloo-system namespace.
```

Uninstall optional components

Remove any optional components that you no longer need, such as sample apps.

If you no longer need the Prometheus stack to monitor resources in your cluster, uninstall the release and delete the namespace.
```
helm uninstall kube-prometheus-stack -n monitoring
kubectl delete namespace monitoring
```
Remove the httpbin sample app.
```
kubectl delete namespace httpbin
```

Remove the Petstore sample app.
