Deleting Data Planes
Deleting a data plane in TIBCO Control Plane does not delete the cluster in your cloud environment. It just deletes the data plane from the TIBCO Control Plane environment. You cannot delete a data plane if there are capabilities or apps deployed on the data plane.
- You must have Data plane Manager permission to delete a data plane. For more information, see Permissions.

Deleting bare-metal Data Planes
Deleting an bare-metal data plane does not delete TIBCO Control Tower from your environment. For more information on deleting or force deleting bare-metal data planes, see Deleting Control Tower Data Plane.
Force Deleting Data Planes
There are some scenarios where you might misconfigure data planes, resulting into inconsistencies between TIBCO Control Plane and data plane and you cannot delete the data plane by using the Delete Data Plane option. In such scenarios, you can use Force Delete Data Plane option. For example, if you are unable to delete a data plane because of lost tunnel connectivity, you can use force delete. Force delete can be used irrespective of data plane status.
Force Delete Data Plane cleans everything related to a data plane. After force delete on the Kubernetes data plane, apps, capabilities, infrastructure components, and resource instances from the data plane are deleted. You must run some cleanup commands in your cluster after force deleting the data plane from the UI.
- You must have Owner or Team Admin permission to force delete a data plane. For more information, see Permissions.
