Uninstall SeekrFlow

Uninstalling removes SeekrFlow from the cluster. To protect your data, it keeps some resources in place. See Remove retained resources.

Uninstall

With the sfe CLI
Without the sfe CLI

Preview the uninstall

sfe uninstall -p <profile-name> --dry-run

Uninstall

sfe uninstall -p <profile-name>

sfe asks you to confirm. It removes the resources SeekrFlow created while it ran, then uninstalls the release. If it stalls, add --force to finish. A forced uninstall can leave resources behind.

Delete the resources SeekrFlow created

While the operator is still running, delete the agents, tools, models, and LoRA syncs it created:

kubectl delete agents.seekr.ai,tools.seekr.ai,flowmodels.seekr.ai,lorasyncs.seekr.ai --all -n seekrflow

Without this step, these resources hold the namespace in Terminating after the uninstall removes the operator.

Uninstall

helm uninstall seekrflow --namespace seekrflow

Remove retained resources

The uninstall keeps these resources, so that uninstalling by mistake doesn’t destroy data. To reinstall after a failed first install, remove the namespaces and databases, then start again from Create the namespaces. Reuse your values file rather than running sfe bootstrap again.

Removing these resources is permanent, and destroys your deployment’s data. Remove them only if you want the deployment gone entirely. To keep a copy of the databases, back them up first. See Back up the databases.

Resource	How to remove it
The `seekrflow` and `argo-workflows` namespaces, including their secrets and persistent volume claims	`kubectl delete namespace seekrflow argo-workflows`
Persistent volumes with a `Retain` reclaim policy, which outlive the namespace	Find them with `kubectl get pv`, then delete the ones SeekrFlow used.
SeekrFlow’s custom resource definitions	Delete them by name. See Delete the custom resource definitions.
SeekrFlow’s databases and login roles in PostgreSQL	Delete the instance, or drop only SeekrFlow’s databases and roles. See Drop the databases and roles.
Files in your object storage bucket	Your cloud provider’s or object store’s tools.
Secrets in your secret store, under `seekrflow/`	Your secret store’s tools.
Cloud resources you created in Provision, such as roles and Pod Identity associations	Your cloud provider’s tools.

Delete the custom resource definitions

kubectl delete crd seekrfloweverywheres.seekr.ai flowservices.seekr.ai flowmodels.seekr.ai \
  agents.seekr.ai tools.seekr.ai lorasyncs.seekr.ai loraadapters.production-stack.vllm.ai

Deleting a custom resource definition deletes every resource of that kind across the whole cluster, not only in the seekrflow namespace. Skip any definition that other software on the cluster uses.

Drop the databases and roles

If you created the PostgreSQL instance only for SeekrFlow, delete the instance instead. If other applications use it, drop only SeekrFlow’s databases and roles. Connect to the postgres database as your admin account, then run these statements. If you didn’t enable Keycloak, the keycloak statements do nothing:

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS seekrflow;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS agents;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS user_auth;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS metaflow;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS mlflow;
DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS keycloak;

DROP ROLE IF EXISTS seekrflow_app;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS seekrflow_keycloak;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS seekrflow_read_write, seekrflow_read_only;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS agents_read_write, agents_read_only;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS user_auth_read_write, user_auth_read_only;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS metaflow_read_write, metaflow_read_only;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS mlflow_read_write, mlflow_read_only;
DROP ROLE IF EXISTS keycloak_read_write, keycloak_read_only;
