[AryaCherryLiu]

Hi All,

I Encounter one issue that is:
after update the deployment replica num in my gitops repo, when argocd finished the sync action, the old pod still available, and can't be deleted manually

I want to how to resolve.

Thanks

Are you incrementing or decrementing the replica count in the deployment? When I tried this with a simple test, incrementing the count from one to two resulted in one additional pod being created. Then when I decremented the count again, the new pod was deleted.
