(The authorized cluster endpoint is enabled by default for RKE clusters.) With this endpoint, you can access your cluster with kubectl directly instead of communicating through the Rancher server&#x27;s <a href="/reference-guides/rancher-manager-architecture/communicating-with-downstream-user-clusters#1-the-authentication-proxy">authentication proxy.</a> For instructions on how to configure kubectl to use the authorized cluster endpoint, refer to the section about directly accessing clusters with <a href="/how-to-guides/new-user-guides/manage-clusters/access-clusters/use-kubectl-and-kubeconfig#authenticating-directly-with-a-downstream-cluster">kubectl and the kubeconfig file.</a> These clusters will use a snapshot of the authentication as it was configured when Rancher was removed.</li></ul><h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="what-if-i-dont-want-rancher-anymore">What if I don&#x27;t want Rancher anymore?<a href="#what-if-i-dont-want-rancher-anymore" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to What if I don&#x27;t want Rancher anymore?" title="Direct link to What if I don&#x27;t want Rancher anymore?">​</a></h3><div class="theme-admonition theme-admonition-note alert alert--secondary admonition_LlT9"><div class="admonitionHeading_tbUL"><span class="admonitionIcon_kALy"><svg viewBox="0 0 14 16"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M6.3 5.69a.942.942 0 0 1-.28-.7c0-.28.09-.52.28-.7.19-.18.42-.28.7-.28.28 0 .52.09.7.28.18.19.28.42.28.7 0 .28-.09.52-.28.7a1 1 0 0 1-.7.3c-.28 0-.52-.11-.7-.3zM8 7.99c-.02-.25-.11-.48-.31-.69-.2-.19-.42-.3-.69-.31H6c-.27.02-.48.13-.69.31-.2.2-.3.44-.31.69h1v3c.02.27.11.5.31.69.2.2.42.31.69.31h1c.27 0 .48-.11.69-.31.2-.19.3-.42.31-.69H8V7.98v.01zM7 2.3c-3.14 0-5.7 2.54-5.7 5.68 0 3.14 2.56 5.7 5.7 5.7s5.7-2.55 5.7-5.7c0-3.15-2.56-5.69-5.7-5.69v.01zM7 .98c3.86 0 7 3.14 7 7s-3.14 7-7 7-7-3.12-7-7 3.14-7 7-7z"></path></svg></span>note</div><div class="admonitionContent_S0QG"><p>The previously recommended <a href="/reference-guides/system-tools">System Tools</a> has been deprecated since June 2022.</p></div></div><p>If you <a href="/pages-for-subheaders/install-upgrade-on-a-kubernetes-cluster">installed Rancher on a Kubernetes cluster,</a> remove Rancher by using the <a href="https://github.com/rancher/rancher-cleanup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rancher Cleanup</a> tool.</p><p>Uninstalling Rancher in high-availability (HA) mode will also remove all <code>helm-operation-*</code> pods and the following apps:</p><ul><li>fleet</li><li>fleet-agent</li><li>rancher-operator</li><li>rancher-webhook</li></ul><p>Custom resources (CRDs) and custom namespaces will still need to be manually removed.</p><p>If you installed Rancher with Docker, you can uninstall Rancher by removing the single Docker container that it runs in.</p><p>Imported clusters will not be affected by Rancher being removed.
