Hi there  
There was some issue when i try applying helm chart. (some image was amd64 whereas my machine is arm)  
So I deleted pod from “perconaservermongodb” (that was ‘force’ action because i deleted the namespace..)  
But “perconaservermongodb”'s status shows “stopping” for more than 2 hours even after I do delete for every component forcefully.  
How can I finalize current situation and what is the recommended graceful deletion way?

have you tried deleting the custom resource with the name of your cluster?

```auto
$ kubectl delete psmdb <cluster_name> -n <namespace>

```
