Please use the following command
skaffold dev --cleanup=false or
skaffold debug --cleanup=false

You would also need to add the following deploy configuration to skaffold.yaml

deploy:
      helm:
        flags:
          upgrade: ["-i"]

I want skaffold to clean up the deployed helm v3 releases similar to kubectl resources when I hit [Ctrl]+C. What can I do? Currently it fails with "unknown flag: --purge" error and we have to manually delete each helm release before we can run skaffold again. Very inconvenient.

WIth 1.4.0 that error had disapperaed, but helm release is not deleted.
Any clues ??
