I am trying to delete persistent volumes on a Kubernetes cluster. I ran the following command:
kubectl delete pv pvc-08e65270-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2 pvc-08e87826-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2 pvc-08ea5f97-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2 pvc-08ec1cac-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2However it showed:
persistentvolume "pvc-08e65270-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2" deleted
persistentvolume "pvc-08e87826-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2" deleted
persistentvolume "pvc-08ea5f97-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2" deleted
persistentvolume "pvc-08ec1cac-b7ce-11e9-ba0b-0a1e280502e2" deletedBut the command did not exit. So I CONTROL+C to force exit the command. After a few minutes, I ran:
kubectl get pvAnd the status is Terminating, but the volumes don't appear to be deleting.
How can I delete these persistent volumes?
It is not recommended to delete pv it should be handled by cloud provisioner. If you need to remove pv just delete pod bounded to claim and then pvc. After that cloud provisioner should also remove pv as well.
kubectl delete pvc --all It sometimes could take some time so be patient.
Delete all the pods, which is using the pvc(you want to delete), then delete the PVC(PersistentVolumeClaim) & PV(PersistentVolume) in sequence.
Some thing like below(in sequence):
