I was testing the Percona MongoDB operator and have some stuck resources. I created a namespace percona-mongodb which I can’t delete now due to the remaining resources.

If I run

```auto
kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name \
  | xargs -n 1 kubectl get --show-kind --ignore-not-found -n percona-mongodb

```

I get this result  
[perconaservermongodb.psmdb.percona.com/mongodb-psmdb-db](http://perconaservermongodb.psmdb.percona.com/mongodb-psmdb-db) stopping 7d2h

If I try to force delete or patch (no finalizers) [perconaservermongodb.psmdb.percona.com/mongodb-psmdb-db](http://perconaservermongodb.psmdb.percona.com/mongodb-psmdb-db) it says the resource wasn’t found.

Anyone know how I can delete this thing?

I was able to delete it after using `--type=merge` with the patch request.

`kubectl patch perconaservermongodb.psmdb.percona.com/mongodb-psmdb-db -n percona-mongodb -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":[]}}' --type=merge`

@sloan58 some of our finalizers are quite strict to ensure that database consistency is intact. For example:

```auto
- percona.com/delete-psmdb-pods-in-order

```

I guess that was exactly the prob.  
If you can provide more details, we might dig deeper. Or improve the experience here.
