<p>I would like to know if it is possible to abort a <code>helm install</code> after I have fired it. I could not find anything in under <code>helm install --help</code> or <code>helm update --help</code>.</p>

<p>I think all you can do is abort the command from the command line with control-C or command-C (assuming you ran it manually, if it's from CI then you can presumably abort the job). Then you can do <code>helm list</code> to find the new release and <code>helm delete &lt;release_name&gt; --purge --no-hooks</code>, since it's an <code>install</code> (it <a href="https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/2956" rel="nofollow noreferrer">would be trickier if it were an upgrade</a>).</p>
