Deactivating environments

The Force Delete option offers a convenient way to handle environments stuck in a deleting state, enabling you to remove them directly from the Cloudera Data Warehouse user interface.

The Force Delete option does not perform a clean shutdown. Before using this option, you must delete all cluster components, such as Virtual Warehouses, Data Visualizations, Database Catalogs, and more. Additionally, the Force Delete option leaves resources on the Kubernetes (k8s) cluster and does not remove the default Database Catalog or log router components. These namespaces must be deleted manually.
  1. Log in to the Cloudera Data Warehouse service as DWAdmin.
  2. Navigate to the Environments tab.
  3. Locate the environment you want to deactivate and click Deactivate button.
    The Action dialog box is displayed.
  4. In the Action dialog box, select Force Delete option.
  5. Click OK.
