Hello, I practice consul in my k8s single node cluster.  
At first, I try to change 2 variables in the consul-0.38.0/values.yaml  
‘connectInject.enable=true’ and ‘syncCatalog.enable=true’, then those services are showed in a new node - k8s-sync.

Now I undo the changes, set ‘connectInject.enable=false’ and ‘syncCatalog.enable=false’, and helm regrade again.  
But Consul UI still has k8s-sync, and those services and node don’t be deregistered.

How to deregister resources after connectInject is false?

Hi @chiyt27,

Synced services are not automatically removed from Consul when `syncCatalog.enable` is changed from `true` to `false`.

You will need to manually deregister the `k8s-sync` node from Consul’s service catalog using the [`/v1/catalog/deregister`](https://www.consul.io/api-docs/catalog#deregister-entity) API endpoint in order to remove the associated services.

For example:

```auto
$ curl --request PUT $CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR/v1/catalog/deregister --data '{"Node": "k8s-sync"}'

```
