No a refresh won t fix this issue nor will destroy I just want Pulumi to overwrite any resources in the way

For example this is the error I m seeing when trying to deploy even with ` r` refresh ```01 Apr 2021 10 05 42 Retry 0 creation failed flannel already exists 01 Apr 2021 10 05 42 error resource flannel was not successfully created by the Kubernetes API server flannel already exists```

I m guessing the thinking is that when destroying unmanaged resources you would want to do this carefully and know exactly what Pulumi will destroy However I can see your point if this is just a dev environment Looking through the code I don t see any simple way to do this Perhaps you could instead automate the step of removing these resources with whatever you used to create them
