Hello,

Is it possible to delete the 3 remaining configMaps when uninstalling ECK via Helm?

$helm uninstall eck-operator

All resources are deleted except these 3 ConfigMap:

```auto
kubectl get configmap 
elastic-licensing 5 63m
elastic-operator-leader 0 63m
elastic-operator-uuid 1 63m

```

Thanks

Yes, you can delete these ConfigMap without any worries.

Hello,  
Thank you for your reply,

I misspoke. 🙂

Is it possible that the **ECK Chart Helm** automatically removes these 3 resources when running the "helm uninstall eck-operator" command to leave a clean evironment?

Thanks
