Just saw this. If you are still having issues, then you can do the following.

1. Check to see if the pods are still running on the host  
`docker ps | grep pod-name-5485fd4b77-67jfb
2. If the pod is not actually running on the host then it is safe to do a  
`kubectl delete pod pod-name-5485fd4b77-67jfb --force --grace-period=0

Pretty sure this a Kubernetes thing and not a Rancher thing BTW.
