<p>I run <code>helm ls --all</code> and get</p>

<pre><code>NAME    REVISION    UPDATED                     STATUS  CHART               NAMESPACE
assets  1           Fri Aug 18 15:34:12 2017    DELETED elasticsearch-0.1.9 default
</code></pre>

<p>Then I run <code>helm del --purge assets</code> and it hangs indefinitely.</p>

<p>The <code>tiller</code> pod log moves when I run the <code>ls</code> command, but doesn't move when I run the <code>del</code> command.</p>

<p>I tried deleting the tiller pod to get a fresh one, but the problem remained.</p>

<p>This is the script I used to deploy Elasticsearch in case it helps:</p>

<pre><code>echo "deploying Elasticsearch cluster"
helm init
helm repo add incubator http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-incubator
helm install incubator/elasticsearch --name assets --set data.resources.limits.cpu=250m,data.resources.limits.memory=1024Mi,data.resources.requests.cpu=250m,data.resources.requests.memory=1024Mi
</code></pre>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>If you have any post install hook that is causing this failure, for helm v3 you can use </p>

<p><code>helm uninstall &lt;Releasename&gt; -n &lt;Namespace&gt; --no-hooks</code></p>
