title: delete improperly removed PersistentVolume in kubernetes
body: <p>It seems like, While deleting the pv,pvc, I have messed up. I can delete the pvc without issues but I can not delete the pv that pv-protection in it. while deleting pv,pvc earlier, I have pressed CTRL+C since it was taking time to delete it and also deleted the storageclass before deleting the pvc. I don't remember the storage class that was used for creating the pvc.</p>
  
  <p>In this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51358856/kubernetes-cant-delete-persistentvolumeclaim-pvc">post</a>, it says, updating the pvc protection to null will help remove the pvc. But I had to delete the pv which has pv-protection. The below is the describe output of pv.</p>
  
  <pre><code>~/github/vault-operator# kubectl describe pv pv-hostpath
