odo delete component

odo delete component command is useful for deleting resources that are managed by odo. It deletes the component and its related innerloop, and outerloop resources from the cluster.

Running the command​

There are 2 ways to delete a component:

Delete with access to Devfile​

odo delete component [--force] [--wait]
Example
$ odo delete component
Searching resources to delete, please wait...
This will delete "my-nodejs" from the namespace "my-project".
 •  The component contains the following resources that will get deleted:
        - Deployment: my-component
? Are you sure you want to delete "my-nodejs" and all its resources? Yes
The component "my-nodejs" is successfully deleted from namespace "my-project"

odo looks into the Devfile present in the current directory for the component resources for the innerloop, and outerloop. If these resources have been deployed on the cluster, then odo will delete them after user confirmation. Otherwise, odo will exit with a message stating that it could not find the resources on the cluster.

note

If some resources attached to the component are present on the clutser, but not in the Devfile, then they will not be deleted. You can delete these resources by running the command in the next section.

odo does not delete the Devfile, the odo configuration files, or the source code.

Delete without access to Devfile​

odo delete component --name <component_name> [--namespace <namespace>] [--force] [--wait]
Example
$ odo delete component --name my-nodejs
Searching resources to delete, please wait...
This will delete "my-nodejs" from the namespace "my-project".
 •  The component contains the following resources that will get deleted:
        - Deployment: my-component
? Are you sure you want to delete these resources? Yes
The component "my-nodejs" is successfully deleted from namespace "my-project"

odo searches for resources attached to the given component in the given namespace on the cluster. If odo finds the resources, it will delete them after user confirmation. Otherwise, odo will exit with a message stating that it could not find the resources on the cluster.

--namespace is optional, if not provided, odo will use the current active namespace.
