I installed istio using these commands:

VERSION = 1.0.5
GCP = gcloud
K8S = kubectl

@$(K8S) apply -f istio-$(VERSION)/install/kubernetes/helm/istio/templates/crds.yaml
@$(K8S) apply -f istio-$(VERSION)/install/kubernetes/istio-demo-auth.yaml
@$(K8S) get pods -n istio-system
@$(K8S) label namespace default istio-injection=enabled
@$(K8S) get svc istio-ingressgateway -n istio-system

Now, how do I completely uninstall it including all containers/ingress/egress etc (everthing installed by istio-demo-auth.yaml?

Thanks.

Just run kubectl delete for the files you applied.

kubectl delete -f istio-$(VERSION)/install/kubernetes/istio-demo-auth.yaml

You can find this in docs as well.
