* You have installed the OpenShift CLI (`oc`).
* You have deleted all virtual machines and virtual machine instances. You cannot uninstall {VirtProductName} while its workloads remain on the cluster.

.Procedure

. Delete the `HyperConverged` custom resource:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ oc delete HyperConverged kubevirt-hyperconverged -n {CNVNamespace}
----

. Delete the {VirtProductName} Operator subscription:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ oc delete subscription kubevirt-hyperconverged -n {CNVNamespace}
----

. Delete the {VirtProductName} `ClusterServiceVersion` resource:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ oc delete csv -n openshift-cnv -l operators.coreos.com/kubevirt-hyperconverged.{CNVNamespace}
----

. Delete the {VirtProductName} namespace:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc delete namespace openshift-cnv
----

. List the {VirtProductName} custom resource definitions (CRDs) by running the `oc delete crd` command with the `dry-run` option:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ oc delete crd --dry-run=client -l operators.coreos.com/kubevirt-hyperconverged.{CNVNamespace}
