We are trying to use the "cleanupCrds: true" parameter in the values.yaml in the helm install to cleanly uninstall trident and the CDRs. But this issue is blocking us. Is it going to be fixed anytime soon ?

[clintonk]

We can aim to fix this in the next release, but the post-delete hook that uses cleanupCrds is an undocumented chart feature that isn't (yet) rigorously tested. In the meantime you can use tridentctl obliviate crd after removing the chart.

[nashrest-gh]

Currently, we use kubectl to install trident and backends and don't have tridentctl installed. Is there any other way to cleanup the CRDs without patching the torc resource as mentioned in https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/trident/troubleshooting.html#completely-remove-trident-and-crds ?
