How do I force delete kubernetes pods?

Question

I have the following pods:

NAME                                                 READY     STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE
xxx-myactivities-79f49cdfb4-nwg22                  


        

Answer 1

I'm using this:

kubectl get pods | grep part-of-the-pods-name|awk '{split($0,a," "); print a[1]}'|xargs -I {} kubectl delete pods {} --grace-period=0

additional grep can be added if needed.
