As some CRDs rely on controllers' workloads, you need to delete workloads after deleting CRDs.

Run the following command to delete all CRDs.

kubectl delete crd backups.velero.io backupstoragelocations.velero.io deletebackuprequests.velero.io downloadrequests.velero.io podvolumebackups.velero.io podvolumerestores.velero.io resticrepositories.velero.io restores.velero.io schedules.velero.io serverstatusrequests.velero.io volumesnapshotlocations.velero.io apphooks.ys.jibudata.com veleroexports.ys.jibudata.com veleroimports.ys.jibudata.com

Run the following command to delete all workloads.

kubectl -n kubesphere-cloud-system delete deployment/agent-operator deployment/amberapp-controller-manager deployment/data-mover-controller-manager deployment/stub deployment/velero daemonset/restic
