kubectl get pods -a | grep Evicted | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kubectl delete pod

I think the -a is needed to allow evicted pods to return, and then the type of object (pod) needs to be added to delete.

kubectl get pods -a | grep Evicted | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kubectl delete pod

Here is what I use:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces --field-selector 'status.phase==Failed' -o json | kubectl delete -f -

@jconallen thanks for the comment. I have the -a and pod in my alias locally but forgot to update the gist

To delete evicted pods from all the namespaces, I use:

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | grep Evicted | awk '{print $2 " --namespace=" $1}' | xargs -n 2 -d '\n' bash -c 'kubectl delete pod $0 $1'

This will split the parameters correctly for xargs when using the namespace option..
