Kubernetes has a ton of pods in error state that can't seem to be cleared

Question

I was originally trying to run a Job that seemed to get stuck in a CrashBackoffLoop. Here was the service file:

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name:         


        

Answer 1

Here you are a quick way to fix it :)

kubectl get pods | grep Error | cut -d' ' -f 1 | xargs kubectl delete pod

Edit: Add flag -a if you are using an old version of k8s
