Clean Up

Time to clean up your Kubernetes environment to keep it tidy for future lessons.

Delete All Namespaces

If you're following along with Docker Desktop Kubernetes (local development), run:

kubectl delete namespace --all

Note: Default namespaces like kube-system, kube-node-lease, etc. will be deleted momentarily but automatically recreate themselves.

⚠️ Important Warning

DO NOT run these commands if you're working in:

• A shared/sandbox cluster
• A production cluster
• Any cluster with important workloads

These commands will delete entire namespaces including the CI/CD pipeline and deployed applications. Only use on your local development cluster.

Verify Clean State

Check that the namespaces are gone:

kubectl get namespaces

Your cluster is now clean and ready for the next lesson!
