kubernetes delete jobs by name

1/13/2022

I'm on a windows machine in a powershell prompt. I don't have the Linux commands like grep, awk.

I have a couple of jobs that I want to delete

enter image description here

I'm not finding the correct syntax for deleting them such as 

kubectl delete job mailmigrationjob-id699*

or 

kubectl delete job where name like mailmigrationjob-id699
-- CloudAnywhere
kubectl
kubernetes
powershell
