[role="_abstract"]
The {hcp} feature, as well as the `hypershift-addon` managed cluster add-on, are enabled by default. If needed, you can disable the feature, or if you disabled it, you can manually enable it.

You can uninstall the HyperShift Operator and disable the {hcp} feature. When you disable the {hcp} feature, you must destroy the hosted cluster and the managed cluster resource on {mce-short}, as described in the _Destroying a hosted cluster_ section.
