Helm delete old release revisions
Helm keeps track of releases and their revisions by creating a kubernetes Secret each time a chart is installed, upgraded etc. These are of course useful in case you want to rollback, but they do pile up.
How to prune old helm chart revisions from a cluster, when you're confident you no longer want to return to them?
(Just deleting the kubernetes secrets would work, but I suspect there's a more elegant way out there.)

You don't need to do anything. Helm prunes old release secrets once their number exceeds 10.
More specifically, helm upgrade command has an integer option --history-max, that allows you to specify the max amount of revisions to keep around. It defaults to 10.
