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

kubectl delete pods --field-selector status.phase=Failed -n

...cleans up any failed pods in your-namespace.
