In some situations, a Project in OpenShift may get stuck in the Terminating state, preventing its complete removal. This usually happens due to Finalizers or pending resources within the namespace. If you’ve tried deleting a namespace and it hasn’t been removed, don’t worry—I’ve prepared a complete guide along with a script that automates the process.
The Problem
Normally, deleting a namespace in OpenShift is a simple process:
oc delete namespace <meu-namespace>However, in some cases, the namespace may remain in the Terminating state indefinitely. This typically occurs because pending resources within the namespace are blocking its removal.
Solution: Forcing Deletion
If the namespace is stuck, we can force its removal using a script I’ve developed, which is available in my repository.
