What can I do to cancel the previous deploy? I had an error due disk space that has been solved. Thanks!

you can use helm with your abctl deployment

Install kubectl (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/#kubectl) and kubectx + kubens (https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx)

then execute commands:

KUBECONFIG=~/.airbyte/abctl/abctl.kubeconfig kubectl config view --flatten &gt; ~/.kube/config
kubectx kind-airbyte-abctl
kubens airbyte-abctl```
`helm ls` should display something like this
```NAME         	NAMESPACE    	REVISION	UPDATED                             	STATUS  	CHART                      	APP VERSION
airbyte-abctl	airbyte-abctl	1       	2024-11-13 10:54:53.460434 +0100 CET	deployed	airbyte-1.2.0              	1.2.0
ingress-nginx	ingress-nginx	1       	2024-11-13 10:55:47.348687 +0100 CET	deployed	ingress-nginx-4.12.0-beta.0	1.12.0-beta.0```
then you can run `helm rollback ...`
check `helm rollback --help` to know exactly what parameters to use

the other option is to check why deployment got stuck, I would use `k9s` (<https://k9scli.io/topics/install/>) to check pods

You could also run abctl local uninstall, this will uninstall the current attempt (keeping the persisted data), and then run abctl local install ... again.
