uninstall: Release not loaded: new: release: not found, chart deployed using helm 3

Question

I have both helm 2 and helm 3 installed in my localhost. I have created a new chart using helm2

sanket@Admins-MacBook-Pro poc % helm create new
Creating new

created a chart 'new ' using helm version 2. Now I have deployed the chart using helm version 3

sanket@Admins-MacBook-Pro poc % helm3 install new new --namespace test 
NAME: new
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Apr 23 17:56:03 2020
NAMESPACE: test
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
NOTES:
1. Get the application URL by running these commands:
  export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace test -l "app.kubernetes.io/name=new,app.kubernetes.io/instance=new" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")
  echo "Visit http://127.0.0.1:8080 to use your application"
  kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME 8080:80

Now when I try to delete the 'new' release it shows :-

sanket@Admins-MacBook-Pro poc % helm3 delete new 
Error: uninstall: Release not loaded: new: release: not found

any idea how to resolve this issue .

Answer 1

By default, helm3 only shows default namespace releases.
Do the following to get your release and delete it.

# Get all releases
helm ls --all-namespaces
# OR
helm ls -A

# Delete release
helm uninstall release_name -n release_namespace
