I create a python code to delete all in namespace

delall.py

import json,sys,os;

obj=json.load(sys.stdin);
for item in obj["items"]:
        os.system("kubectl delete " + item["kind"] + "/" +item["metadata"]["name"] + " -n yournamespace")

and then

kubectl get all -n kong -o json | python delall.py

You just need sed to do this   kubectl get pods --no-headers true --all-namespaces  sed -r  s   S   s   S     kubectl --namespace  1 delete pod  2 e    Explains    use command kubectl get pods --all-namespaces to get the list of all pods in all namespaces  use --no-headers true option to hide the headers  use s command of sed to fetch the first two words  which represent namespace and pod s name respectively  then assemble the delete command using them   the final delete command is just like  kubectl --namespace kube-system delete pod heapster-eq3yw  use the e modifier of s command to execute the command assembled above  which will do the actual delete works    To avoid delete pods in kube-system namespace  just need to add grep -v kube-system to exclude kube-system namespace before the sed command

If you already have pods which are recreated  think to delete all deployments first   kubectl delete -n  NAMESPACE deployment  DEPLOYMENT   Just replace the NAMSPACE and the DEPLOYMENT to corresponding ones  you can get all deployments information by the following command     kubectl get deployments --all-namespaces

You can simply run  kubectl delete all --all --all-namespaces    The first all means the common resource kinds  pods  replicasets  deployments          kubectl get all    kubectl get pods rs deployments       The second --all means to select all resources of the selected kinds     Note that all does not include    non namespaced resourced  e g   clusterrolebindings  clusterroles       configmaps rolebindings roles secrets         In order to clean up perfectly    you could use other tools  e g   Helm  Kustomize       you could use a namespace  you could use labels when you create resources

There is no command to do exactly what you asked   Here are some close matches   You can delete all the pods in a single namespace with this command   kubectl delete --all pods --namespace foo   You can also delete all deployments in namespace which will delete all pods attached with the deployments corresponding to the namespace  kubectl delete --all deployments --namespace foo   You can delete all namespaces and every object in every namespace  but not un-namespaced objects  like nodes and some events  with this command   kubectl delete --all namespaces   However  the latter command is probably not something you want to do  since it will delete things in the kube-system namespace  which will make your cluster not usable   This command will delete all the namespaces except kube-system  which might be useful   for each in   kubectl get ns -o jsonpath    items    metadata name     grep -v kube-system   do   kubectl delete ns  each done
