How to delete the Stateful Sets in Kubernetes permanently? They get re-created even after I delete them by setting --force and --grace-period=0 flags.
I know I can delete them all by removing the deployment itself. I'm interested in knowing if there is any way to preserve the deployments and delete only unwanted Stateful Sets.
Scaling the deployment to 0 will remove the pods, but will keep the deployment:
kubectl scale deploy/my-deployment --replicas=0
