  <p>I already tried delete by various ways but nothing worked (I also tried to delete from the dashboard)</p>
  <pre><code>**kubectl delete pod happy-panda-mariadb-master-0 --namespace=&quot;default&quot;
  k delete deployment mysql-1608901361
  k delete pod/happy-panda-mariadb-master-0 -n default --grace-period 0 --force**
  </code></pre>
  <p>Could you advise me on this?</p>
