Delete a Namespace stuck in Terminating state

Note that using kubectl edit namespace $NAMESPACE WILL NOT WORK. It has to go through kubectl replace ...

1. Identify the namespace that is stuck using kubectl get namespaces (this shall be $NAMESPACE)

2. Run the following to get the Namespace resource as JSON: kubectl get namespace $NAMESPACE -o json > $NAMESPACE.json

3. Modify $NAMESPACE.json and set the property at .spec.finalizers to []

4. Run the following to apply the Namespace resource: kubectl replace --raw "/api/v1/namespaces/$NAMESPACE/finalize -f ./$NAMESPACE.json

5. Your Namespace resource should be deleted, check with kubectl get namespaces
