We do not have an option to force delete a cluster. Just so that I understand did you mean when all services become 'INSTALLED' from 'STARTED' (that is after all services have stopped).

Hi Sumit, I'm using 1.2.4... I noticed that if I wait for all services to become 'INSTALLED' then I can delete the cluster. Do you know if there's a way to avoid this step and forcibly delete the cluster? Or do I need to update?
