<p>I have created a Kubernetes cluster in AWS platform and using DaemonSets to create the Pod.</p>

<p>After an instance is terminated, the corresponding pod is still in <code>Terminating</code> states.</p>

<p>Anyone have idea of cleaning up such <code>Terminating</code> pod in kubernetes master?</p>

<p>You can always force delete a pod by providing <code>kubectl delete pod NAME --grace-period=0</code>.  You can also delete the node (if you don't plan on bringing it back) with <code>kubectl delete node NAME</code> and the pods should get cleaned up.</p>
