Istio operator install error: unmarshalerDecoder: unknown field "policy"

On a kubernetes cluster where I tried to uninstall istio control plane and it's operator and make sure they are not existing,

1.) I deployed istio CNI

cat <<EOF > istio-cni.yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
  components:
    cni:
      enabled: true
  values:
    cni:
      excludeNamespaces:
       - istio-system
       - kube-system
      logLevel: info
EOF
istioctl install -f istio-cni.yaml

2.) and install the operator istioctl operator init

Upon checking the operator pod logs I can see:

One of my iop (from kubectl get iop -A) have "policy" or "telemetry" fields which are no longer supported . So I need to delete them.

  1. kubectl delete iop [iopname] -n istio-system

This get stucked though because my controller is already gone. So I have to do

  1. kubectl edit iop [iopname] -n istio-system
  2. Remove istiooperators.install.istio.io from the finalizer
  3. Apply

After this I can see no error logs when I tried to install istio-CNI again followed by istioctl operator init.
