Resource already used in some namespace You need to clean up first and then install it again

helm delete should do that clean up right? What we need to do if any resources exist? Because it is hard to identify the bread crumbs if there are many deployments on the cluster. – Sara June Aug 24 '21 at 17:44
Did you try --debug with helm install – MohammadReza moeini Aug 25 '21 at 12:01
there is a lot of commands to find resource used one of them is using kubectl get all -n | grep ... Solution number 2 is: helm list for more info check: https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_list/ – MohammadReza moeini Aug 25 '21 at 12:39

There are some CustomResourceDefinition which are showing

kubectl get CustomResourceDefinition

But didn't see any when I type.

kubectl get all

Now, as it is test environment, I deleted them using.

kubectl delete CustomResourceDefinition --all

Now, it is working.
