Pod status terminating-Kubernentes

Question

I was trying to delete a replication controller with 15 pods and few of the pods got stuck at terminating status.

NAME        READY     STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE
pod-186o2   1/1       Terminating   0          2h
pod-4b6qc   1/1       Terminating   0          2h
pod-8xl86   1/1       Terminating   0          1h
pod-d6htc   1/1       Terminating   0          1h
pod-vlzov   1/1       Terminating   0          1h

whats the issue?

Answer 1

Force delete the pod:

kubectl delete pod --grace-period=0 --force --namespace <NAMESPACE> <PODNAME>

Answer 2

Delete the finalizers block from resource (pod,deployment,ds etc...) yaml:

"finalizers": [
  "foregroundDeletion"
]
