kubectl does an HTTP PUT to the job during the delete process. This PUT fails because the Job has gotten itself into an invalid state. We must DELETE without PUTing.

Try

kubectl proxy curl -X DELETE localhost:8001/apis/batch/v1/namespaces/<namespace>/jobs/<jobname>

Then kill the kubectl proxy process. namespace is typically default

The solution posted by @esnible does work in this scenario, but it is simpler do these steps:

  1. Delete job with cascade false

kubectl delete job/jobname -n namespace --cascade=false

  1. Delete any pod that exists

kubectl delete pod/podname -n namespace
