# Deprovision

Deprovisioning an upstream cluster is a two step process.

- Delete the cluster in the Console.
- Delete the cluster on each node used to provision the cluster in the Console.

## Delete Cluster from Console

Cluster Deletion UX Enhancement

To delete an upstream cluster in the Console:

- In the Console, go to the Project with the cluster you want to delete.
- For the cluster you want to delete, click the Settings icon (gear icon), then select **Delete**.

- Select **Delete Cluster Completely** to delete cluster object from Rafay controller and all associated resources from the provider
- Select **Delete Cluster Object Only** to delete cluster from Rafay controller only
- Select/enter the cluster name and click **Delete this Cluster**

Important

- To prepare nodes for reuse, run `conjurer -d` on each affected node after deletion. This command deletes all binaries and resets the nodes
- The `conjurer -d` command cleans up the cron jobs brought up as part of the provisioning process, but does not affect user-created cron jobs

Once the delete request is submitted, the message below will be displayed, and the deletion process might take up to 20 minutes.

## Delete Cluster on Node

Note

The below change is only for users who are using the `rctl apply` path for cluster provisioning.

- **Changes Required:**
  - If you use automation scripts are using `rctl apply`flow that reference the users home directory path, you will need to update the path to `/usr/bin` for executing the Conjurer when deleting nodes. This change is necessary to ensure correct execution of the Conjurer binary.For more information refer these [Conjurer Changes for `rctl apply](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/upstream/cli/#declarative)

- For each node configured to run the cluster, run the following command:

```
./conjurer -d
```

- A message appears asking you to confirm deprovisioning. Enter `YES` and press Enter.

|     |     |
| --- | --- |
| ```<br>1<br>2<br>``` | ````<br>- Use ```YES```. Using ```yes``` does not confirm the deprovisioning command.<br>- Enter the **sudo** password, if required.<br>```` |

- If error messages display during deprovisioning, some can be ignored because these errors will resolve upon a reboot.
