Steps to Delete the Running Connector Pod¶

After deleting the application from the portal, follow the steps below to manually clean up the running pod.

1. Run the command to list all installed Helm charts in the target namespace and identify the connector chart name, which will be used in the next step.

   Bash
   1	helm ls -n <namespace>

2. Use the helm uninstall command to remove the connector deployment from the desired namespace.
   Example: helm uninstall bigquery-dev -n dev-namespace

   Bash
   1	helm uninstall <connector-chart-name> -n <namespace>

3. After uninstalling the deployment, clean up the connector configuration and generated files to complete the connector removal.

   1. Delete the connector configuration directory related to the connector type and environment.
      Example: rm -rf config/custom-vars/connectors/bigquery/dev

      Bash
      1 2	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager rm -rf config/custom-vars/connectors/<connector-type>/<connector-env>

   2. Delete the generated Helm chart output directory corresponding to the connector type and environment.
      

      Example: rm -rf output/kubernetes/helm/connector/bigquery/dev

      Bash
      1 2	cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager rm -rf output/kubernetes/helm/connector/<connector-type>/<connector-env>

Important Notes¶

• Deleting the application from the portal does not automatically remove the running Kubernetes pod.
• The pod will continue to operate using the last configuration set before the application was deleted.
• Manual uninstallation and configuration cleanup are required to fully remove the connector.
