I was trying to install ElasticSearch as described in docs https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-elasticsearch-fluentd-and-kibana-efk-logging-stack-on-kubernetes but it failed to start.

I then tried to delete the namespace but it is in Terminating state for 23 hours.

~ kubectl -n kube-logging get pods -o wide
NAME           READY   STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE   IP             NODE                  NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES

I tried to recycle the node but it is stuck in Upgrading. Delete is also not working: “Sorry, we were unable to delete this node”

Stuck pod:

How do I force delete pods?
