# Disabling SpeechSense

You can disable the SpeechSense component in a Stackland cluster. If you do so, the controller will automatically delete all the component's resources.

## Disabling a component {#disable}

1. Create the `speechsense-disable.yaml` manifest file:

    apiVersion: stackland.yandex.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: SpeechsenseConfig
    metadata:
      name: default
    spec:
      enabled: false
    ```
    ```

1. Apply the manifest:

    ```bash
    kubectl apply -f speechsense-disable.yaml
    ```

1. Make sure the resources were deleted:

    ```bash
    kubectl get pods -n stackland-speechsense
    ```

    The command should not be returning any pods.

The controller will automatically delete the following:

* Helm release named `stackland-speechsense`.
* Database clusters, if not used by other components.
* Secrets and certificates.

{% note warning %}

PVCs with the database data are retained to make recovery possible. For complete deletion, delete the PVCs manually:

```bash
kubectl delete pvc --all -n stackland-speechsense
```

{% endnote %}
