Hello,

This is because using the uninstallation button on the OpenShift console does not completely remove any trace of the Operator installation. Specifically, it will not remove the CRDs or any CRs associated with the operator. If you `oc get elasticsearch-operator.openshift-operators-redhat -o yaml` there should be a place in the status block that describes the set of resources that the Operator object represents. In order to remove that object you will need to ensure all associated resources are removed in order to delete the Operator, and the console does not provide a function like that.

I'm closing this as NOTABUG. If you have further questions, feel free to reach out on the CoreOS slack channel #forum-operator-fw or on the olm dev mailing list aos-odin
