I'm trying find a way to delete all deployed releases in Helm.
It appears that Helm does not support deleting all releases, with --all
or otherwise.
Would there be another way to delete all Helm releases in one command?

To delete all Helm releases with a single command, you can use some good old bash. Just pipe the output of helm ls --short
to xargs
, and run helm delete
for each release.
helm ls --all --short | xargs -L1 helm delete
Adding --purge
will delete the charts as well, as per @Yeasin Ar Rahman's comment.
helm ls --all --short | xargs -L1 helm delete --purge
This worked for me in a powershell cmd window:
helm del $(helm ls --all --short) --purge
helm delete $(helm ls --short)
Description:
helm ls --short
gives a list of releases ids.
helm delete id1 id2 id3
deletes realeses with ids: id1, id2, id3.
So combining them we get:
helm delete $(helm ls --short)
I regularly delete all releases in Helm too, so I thought it'd be useful to make a Helm plugin for it.
Install:
helm plugin install https://github.com/astronomerio/helm-delete-all-plugin --version 0.0.2
(You may be able to omit the --version x
part on newer versions of Helm.)
Usage:
helm delete-all
