title: Kubernetes Delete Persistent Voulmes Created by hostPath
body: <p>I created a PV and a PVC on docker-desktop and even after removing the pv and pvc the file still remains. When I re-create it, it attaches the same mysql database to new pods. How do you manually delete the files created by the hostPath? I suppose one way is to just reset Kubernetes in the preferences but there has to be another less nuclear option. </p>
