[Rancher-Istio](https://github.com/rancher/charts/tree/release-v2.11/charts/rancher-istio) will be deprecated in Rancher v2.12.0; turn to the [SUSE Rancher Application Collection](https://apps.rancher.io) build of Istio for enhanced security (included in SUSE Rancher Prime subscriptions).

This section describes how to uninstall Istio in a cluster or disable a namespace, or workload.
|
|
|
|
## Uninstall Istio in a Cluster
|
|
|
|
To uninstall Istio,
|
|
|
|
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
|
1. Go to the cluster that you created and click **Explore**.
|
|
1. In the left navigation bar, click **Apps > Installed Apps**.
|
|
1. In the `istio-system` namespace, go to `rancher-istio` and click **⋮ > Delete**.
|
|
1. After `rancher-istio` is deleted, you can then select all the remaining apps in the `istio-system` namespace and click **Delete**.
|
|
|
|
**Result:** The `rancher-istio` app in the cluster gets removed. The Istio sidecar cannot be deployed on any workloads in the cluster.
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
|
|
You can no longer disable and re-enable your Istio installation. If you would like to save your settings for a future install, view and save individual YAMLs to refer back to / reuse for future installations.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Troubleshooting Uninstall:** If you didn't follow the uninstall steps, you may encounter a warning during uninstall:
|
|
|
|
`Error: uninstallation completed with 1 error(s): unable to build kubernetes objects for delete: unable to recognize "": no matches for kind "MonitoringDashboard" in version "monitoring.kiali.io/v1alpha1"`
|
|
|
|
This could mean a few things. You either selected all the apps in the `istio-system` namespace and deleted them at the same time, or you deleted `rancher-istio` chart dependencies prior to deleting the `rancher-istio` chart. Since the uninstall did not complete properly, you will have resources remaining in the `istio-system` namespace that you will need to manually clean up. Another option to avoid manual clean up is to install `rancher-istio` again, then uninstall it in the correct order.
|
|
|
|
## Disable Istio in a Namespace
|
|
|
|
1. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
|
1. Go to the cluster that you created and click **Explore**.
|
|
1. Click **Cluster > Projects/Namespaces**.
|
|
1. Go to the namespace where you want to enable Istio and click **⋮ > Enable Istio Auto Injection**. Alternately, click the namespace, and then on the namespace detail page, click **⋮ > Enable Istio Auto Injection**.
|
|
|
|
**Result:** When workloads are deployed in this namespace, they will not have the Istio sidecar.
|
|
|
|
## Remove the Istio Sidecar from a Workload
|
|
|
|
Disable Istio in the namespace, then redeploy the workloads with in it. They will be deployed without the Istio sidecar.
