# You want to delete a Flux Kustomization but keep the workloads it created running. Which field do you set first?

Flux CD, Hard (Expert), Concepts. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/you-want-to-delete-a-flux-kustomization-but-keep-the-workloads-it-created-running-which-field-do-you-set-first

- A. spec.deletionPolicy: Delete
- B. spec.deletionPolicy: WaitForTermination
- C. spec.wait: false
- D. spec.deletionPolicy: Orphan

**Answer:** spec.deletionPolicy: Orphan

**Explanation:** Orphan leaves the managed objects in place when the Kustomization is deleted. The default, MirrorPrune, deletes them when prune is true. Delete always deletes them, and WaitForTermination also waits for them to be gone. If a parent Kustomization still has this one in Git, it is recreated on the next reconciliation.
