"Ghost" kubernetes pod stuck in terminating


Try removing the finalizers from the pod:

kubectl patch pod funny-turtle-myservice-xxx-yyy -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}'


In my case, the solution proposed by the accepted answer did not work, it kept stuck in "Terminating" status. What did the trick for me was:

kubectl delete pods <pod> --grace-period=0 --force


In my case nothing worked, no logs, no delete, absolutely nothing. I had to restart all the nodes, then the situation cleared up, no more Terminating pods.
