# Kubernetes Service Name Change Creates A New Service (old service not deleted)

### Issue <a href="#issue" id="issue"></a>

When modifying the k8s manifest to change the service name, a new service is getting generated. The old service is not getting deleted automatically. Manual service delete needs to be done.
