@scheung38 I did not understand your question. For example, the following command will delete all namespaced objects in jenkins
namespace.
kubectl --namespace jenkins delete "$(kubectl api-resources --namespaced=true --verbs=delete -o name | tr "\n" "," | sed -e 's/,$//')" --all
@scheung38's question, I think, is "Why bother with this plugin? Why not just delete the namespace itself, thereby implicitly deleting all of the objects within it?"
Depending on your roles and rolebindings, you might not have access to delete non-Namespaced objects (which a Namespace is), or re-create them. Sometimes Namespace deletions also get "stuck" on finalizers. So, deleting the contents of the Namespace without deleting the Namespace itself certainly is useful in some contexts.

Hi @superbrothers: Does kubectl delete namespace jenkins for example does not delete all objects in jenkins namespace in this context?
