kubectl delete
Delete resources by filenames, stdin, resources and names, or by resources and label selector
Synopsis
Delete resources by filenames, stdin, resources and names, or by resources and label selector.
JSON and YAML formats are accepted.
Only one type of the arguments may be specified: filenames, resources and names, or resources and label selector
Note that the delete command does NOT do resource version checks, so if someone submits an update to a resource right when you submit a delete, their update will be lost along with the rest of the resource.
kubectl delete ([-f FILENAME] | TYPE [(NAME | -l label | --all)])
Examples
# Delete a pod using the type and name specified in pod.json.
kubectl delete -f ./pod.json
# Delete a pod based on the type and name in the JSON passed into stdin.
cat pod.json | kubectl delete -f -
# Delete pods and services with same names "baz" and "foo"
kubectl delete pod,service baz foo
# Delete pods and services with label name=myLabel.
kubectl delete pods,services -l name=myLabel
# Delete a pod immediately (no graceful shutdown)
kubectl delete pod foo --now
# Delete a pod with UID 1234-56-7890-234234-456456.
kubectl delete pod 1234-56-7890-234234-456456
# Delete all pods
kubectl delete pods --all
Options
--all [-all] to select all the specified resources.
--cascade If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController). Default true. (default true)
-f, --filename value Filename, directory, or URL to a file containing the resource to delete. (default [])
--grace-period int Period of time in seconds given to the resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. (default -1)
--ignore-not-found Treat "resource not found" as a successful delete. Defaults to "true" when --all is specified.
--include-extended-apis If true, include definitions of new APIs via calls to the API server. [default true] (default true)
--now If true, resources are force terminated without graceful deletion (same as --grace-period=0).
-o, --output string Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
-l, --selector string Selector (label query) to filter on.
--timeout duration The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object (default 0s)
