With clock skew the metadata.deletionTimestamp may
still be in the future. Wait a few minutes to see if the object is
deleted.
Finalizers exist on the object.
Finalizers are present on the object, they must be
removed by the controller that set them before the object is deleted.
If you want to force a deletion without waiting for the finalizers, edit
the object to remove them from the metadata.finalizers array.
Warning: Removing finalizers without allowing the controllers to complete
may cause errors, security issues, data loss, or orphaned resources.
Dependent objects may exist.
The object may be waiting on dependents to be deleted before it deleted.
See the Kubernetes garbage collection guide to learn more.
Have an administrator check all objects in the namespace and cluster to
see if one of them is blocking deletion.
If you need to remove the object without waiting for dependents, use
kubectl delete with the cascade flag set to: --cascade=orphan.
