2. Run the following commands to export the kubectl and Helm binary:

   export KUBECTL_BIN=<path of KUBECTL_BIN>
   
   export HELM_BIN=<path of HELM_BIN>

   Copy the path of KUBECTL_BIN and HELM_BIN from the infra.config file. For more information, see Configuration-file-settings.

3. Download the efk-cleanup.sh script.

4. Run the efk-cleanup.sh script to clean up the Elasticsearch, Fluent Bit, and Kibana (EFK) pods:

   ./efk-cleanup.sh <namespace>

   <namespace> is the namespace where you deployed BMC Helix IT Operations Management. 
   
   This script removes the Kubernetes objects such as EFK pods, PVCs, secrets, and so on.
