Question

I installed kubernetes cluster using kubeadm following this guide  After some period of time  I decided to reinstall K8s but run into troubles with removing all related files and not finding any docs on official site how to remove cluster installed via kubeadm  Did somebody meet the same problems and know the proper way of removing all files and dependencies  Thank you in advance   For more information  I removed kubeadm  kubectl and kubelet using apt-get purge remove but when I started installing the cluster again I got next errors    preflight  Some fatal errors occurred      Port 6443 is in use     Port 10251 is in use     Port 10252 is in use      etc kubernetes manifests is not empty      var lib kubelet is not empty     Port 2379 is in use      var lib etcd is not empty

The guide you linked now has a Tear Down section   Talking to the master with the appropriate credentials  run   kubectl drain  lt node name gt  --delete-local-data --force --ignore-daemonsets kubectl delete node  lt node name gt    Then  on the node being removed  reset all kubeadm installed state   kubeadm reset

If you are clearing the cluster so that you can start again  then  in addition to what  rib47 said  I also do the following to ensure my systems are in a state ready for kubeadm init again  kubeadm reset -f rm -rf  etc cni  etc kubernetes  var lib dockershim  var lib etcd  var lib kubelet  var run kubernetes    kube   iptables -F  amp  amp  iptables -X iptables -t nat -F  amp  amp  iptables -t nat -X iptables -t raw -F  amp  amp  iptables -t raw -X iptables -t mangle -F  amp  amp  iptables -t mangle -X systemctl restart docker  You then need to re-install docker io  kubeadm  kubectl  and kubelet to make sure they are at the latest versions for your distribution before you re-initialize the cluster  EDIT  Discovered that calico adds firewall rules to the raw table so that needs clearing out as well
