<p>I am having this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36138636/how-do-i-delete-orphan-kubernetes-pods">issue</a> except I have not created a ReplicaSet as suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/3653449/tim-hockin">Tim Hockin</a>. </p>

<p>Somehow a ReplicaSet was created with the same properties as my ReplicationController. The only difference is the name.  The Controller is named 'fp-frontend' and the Set is named 'fp-frontend-389969098'. The appended number suggests that it was automatically created.</p>

<p>Perhaps a race condition or something, who knows.... I would however like to delete it and the pods it spawns.</p>

<p>So I try to delete it:</p>

<p><code>
$kubectl delete rs fp-frontend-389969098
replicaset "fp-frontend-389969098" deleted
</code></p>

<p>Command says it was deleted. But...</p>

<p><code>
$kubectl get rs
NAME                    DESIRED   CURRENT   AGE
fp-frontend-389969098   1         1         4s
</code></p>

<p>Any suggestions?
I think I am going to delete and recreate the cluster?</p>

<p>I am using google container engine and kubernetes is up to date.</p>

<p>You've probably created a deployment that's recreating the replica set for you. Try running <code>kubectl get deployments</code> and deleting the deployment from the output of that command.</p>
