# You delete a Flux Kustomization that has prune: true and no deletionPolicy. What happens to the objects it applied?

Flux CD, Medium (Advanced), Concepts. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/you-delete-a-flux-kustomization-that-has-prune-true-and-no-deletionpolicy-what-happens-to-the-objects-it-applied

- A. They are deleted from the cluster
- B. They stay and are adopted by flux-system
- C. They stay, but drift is no longer corrected
- D. They are moved into the flux-system namespace

**Answer:** They are deleted from the cluster

**Explanation:** The default deletion policy, MirrorPrune, follows prune: with prune: true, kustomize-controller garbage-collects everything in the Kustomization's inventory before the object goes away. Set spec.deletionPolicy: Orphan to keep the objects.
