Delete a configmap itself from Kubernetes
To delete configmap using configmap name:
# kubectl delete configmap <configmap-name> -n <namespace-name> $ kubectl delete configmap my-cofigmap -n namespacename To delete configmap using configmap yaml file:
# kubectl delete -f <file-directory> -n <namespace-name>$ kubectl delete -f configmap.yaml -n namespacename
You can delete a configMap by it's name. If you are unsure you can check the configMaps within a namespace by using:
kubectl get configmap -n namespacename
once you have them you can run a delete command:
kubectl delete configmap <configmapname> -n namespacename
Should work this way:
kubectl delete configmap <configmap-name> -n <namespace-name>Your configmap's name should be defined in your configmap.yaml file.
