## Chaos Infrastructure

To disconnect the [Chaos Infrastructure](../getting-started/resources.md#chaosagents) connected to the [ChaosCenter](../getting-started/resources.md#chaoscenter), follow these steps -

1. Remove the ChaosEngines of the respective Chaos Infrastructure

```bash
kubectl delete chaosengine <CHAOSENGINE_NAMEs> --all -<INFRA_NAMESPACE>
```

:::note
If ChaosEngines is unable to delete successfully then the Kubernetes finalizers need to be removed manually.
:::

2. Login to the ChaosCenter and navigate to the Chaos Infrastructures Page.
3. Click on the three dot menu and select `Disable` of the respective Chaos Infrastructure you want to disconnect.
4. On the Modal that appears, confirm your selection by clicking `Yes` and the selected Chaos Infrastructure would be disconnected from the ChaosCenter.
   :::note
   The above disconnect would remove the subscriber component from Chaos Infrastructure and thus removing the connectivity between the Chaos Infrastructure and the ChaosCenter.

   If the Chaos Infrastructure is not reachable it would remove only the entry from the database of the ChaosCenter
