Yes. If you delete the switch, the switch ports get deleted too.
After deleting the logical switch (or switch ports) do you see them to
be deleted by
ovn-northd in SB DB ?
Run - ovn-sbctl list port_binding <deleted_port>
or/and
ovn-sbctl list datapath_binding <deleted_lswitch>
I'd suggest you enable jsonrpc debug in ovn-controller and see what's happening.
It would be helpful if you can share the ovn-controller debug logs.
ovn-appctl -t ovn-controller vlog/set jsonrpc:dbg
Thanks

I'm not sure. /etc/openvswitch/conf.db is the local ovsdb-server database
