Delete a configmap itself from Kubernetes

You can delete a configMap by it's name. If you are unsure you can check the configMaps within a namespace by using:

kubectl get configmap -n namespacename`

once you have them you can run a delete command:

kubectl delete configmap <configmapname> -n namespacename

To delete configmap using configmap name:

# kubectl delete configmap  <configmap-name>  -n  <namespace-name> 
$ kubectl delete configmap    my-cofigmap     -n   namespacename 

To delete configmap using configmap yaml file:

# kubectl delete -f <file-directory> -n <namespace-name>
$ kubectl delete -f  configmap.yaml  -n  namespacename
