<p>I tried deleting the finalizer, did nothing.
Also tried to delete with <code>--grace-period=0 --force</code> still nothing. 
It does not display any resources under the namespace.</p>

<p>Anything other I can do to force the delete?</p>

Alex Efimov
<p>The error you experience is caused by the apiservice <code>v1alpha1.tap.linkerd.io</code> which is not working (<code>ServiceNotFound</code>). It is hard to say what have caused it but I can see two ways out of it:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>If you don't need that API than simply delete it: <code>kubectl delete apiservice v1alpha1.tap.linkerd.io</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>If you need it, you can try to delete pods related to it in order to restart them and see if that helps.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>After that you should be able to delete the namespace you mentioned.</p>

<p>Please let me know if that helps. </p>
