Resource are not being deleted after uninstalling the pipeline-operator

When I uninstall the pipeline-operator from the OperatorHub it doesn't delete all the resources.

oc get crd

output after uninstalling the pipeline-operator.

after uninstalling the pipeline-operator from OperatorHub it should delete all the tekton resources.

issue: redhat-developer/vscode-tekton#1

I think this is by design (initially)

@sudhirverma To the best of my knowledge this is the expected behaviour of Operator Lifecycle Manager. I do agree it sounds counter intuitive. The recommended way to uninstall the operator is to remove the cluster-wide CR (custom-resource) called cluster which the operator creates automatically when it is subscribed to e.g.

oc delete config.operator.tekton.dev cluster

This is explained in the blog series that @nikhil-thomas wrote some time back - https://medium.com/@nikhilthomas1/right-way-to-uninstall-openshift-pipelines-fromopenshift-4-x-fb2a7b7c492c

I think we must add that section to the tutorial as well.

For now, I am closing this as not a bug until OLM gives us an option.

@vdemeester thanks for the ping 🙏 👼
