Control Plane prevents deletion of any resource that has the cpln/protected tag set to true.
Use this tag to safeguard critical resources such as workloads and secrets from accidental deletion. To delete a protected resource, first remove the tag or change its value from true.

cpln/protected for the Key.

Remove tag
From nearly any resource within the Console, follow these steps to remove the protected tag:
