# Disabling MetalLB Addon in "InstallAddonError" Status Fails to Delete Resources on the Cluster

## Problem

When the metalLB enable operation fails, the addon goes into the ***InstallAddonError*** state, but the speaker and other pods get deployed. At this point, when we try to disable the metalLB addon, the speaker pods and other deployments on the cluster do not get deleted. Only the Sunpike object clusterAddon gets deleted.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://platform9.com/kb/pmk/frequently-asked-questions/disabling-metallb-addon-in--installaddonerror--status-fails-to-d.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
