<p>In the kubectl tool there is the option:</p>

<pre><code>--cascade[=true]: If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController).  Default true.
</code></pre>

<p>But when I'm doing the 'delete' using the API(1.2) by default the deleted resources doesn't cascade. </p>

<p>Is there a simple way to do it with the api?</p>

<p>No, cascading delete is client side only. There are plans to move that logic server side in future versions</p>
