## 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 with UID 1234-56-7890-234234-456456. kubectl delete pod 1234-56-7890-234234-456456 # Delete all pods kubectl delete pods --all ``` ### Options ``` --all[=false]: [-all] to select all the specified resources. --cascade[=true]: If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController). Default true. -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to a file containing the resource to delete. --grace-period=-1: Period of time in seconds given to the resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. --ignore-not-found[=false]: Treat "resource not found" as a successful delete. Defaults to "true" when --all is specified. -o, --output="": Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name). -l, --selector="": Selector (label query) to filter on. --timeout=0: The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object ``` ### Options inherited from parent commands ``` --alsologtostderr[=false]: log to standard error as well as files --api-version="": The API version to use when talking to the server --certificate-authority="": Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority. --client-certificate="": Path to a client certificate file for TLS. --client-key="": Path to a client key file for TLS. --cluster="": The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use --context="": The name of the kubeconfig context to use --insecure-skip-tls-verify[=false]: If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity.
