## I'm getting stuck in "Terminating" when I uninstall Agones

If you try to uninstall the `agones-system` namespace before you have removed all of the components in the namespace you may
end up in a `Terminating` state.

```bash
kubectl get ns
NAME STATUS AGE
agones-system Terminating 4d
```

Fixing this up requires us to bypass the finalizer in Kubernetes ([article link](https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSBS6K_3.1.1/troubleshoot/ns_terminating.html)), by manually changing the namespace details:

First get the current state of the namespace:
```bash
kubectl get namespace agones-system -o json >tmp.json
```

Edit the response `tmp.json` to remove the finalizer data, for example remove the following:
```json
"spec": {
"finalizers": [
"kubernetes"
]
},
```

Open a new terminal to proxy traffic:
```bash
kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001
```

Now make an API call to send the altered namespace data:
```bash
curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT --data-binary @tmp.json http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/agones-system/finalize
```

You may need to clean up any other Agones related resources you have in your cluster at this point.
