I am new to Kubernetes and docker, while practicing creating pods, nodes and containers I have accidentally deleted a cluster without deleting the nods and the pods are still recreating itself and I have no way of accessing them. Now I can’t delete the pods and they keep coming up whenever I do (kubectl get pods). The only way I can get rid of those pods is by starting a new minikube cluster. I need some help to delete those pods and stop them from reappearing.

Below is the command line interface

user@user:~$ kubectl get pods

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?
