Delete attempt of Kubernetes resource reports not found, even though it can be listed with "kubectl get" - kubectl

Question

I am running Kubeflow pipeline on a single node Rancher K3S cluster. Katib is deployed to create training jobs (Kind: TFJob) along with experiments (a CRD).
I can list the experiment resources with kubectl get experiments -n <namespace>. However, when trying to delete using kubectl delete experiment exp_name -n namespace the API server returns NotFound.
kubectl version is 1.22.12
kubeflow 1.6
How can a(any) resource be deleted when it is listed by "kubectl get , but a direct kubectl delete says the resource cannot be found?
Hopefully there is a general answer applicable for any resource.
Example:
kc get experiments -n <namespace>
NAME TYPE STATUS AGE
mnist-e2e Running True 21h
kc delete experiment mnist-e2e -n namespace
Error from server (NotFound): experiments.kubeflow.org "mnist-e2e" not found
I have tried these methods, but all involve the use of the resource name (mnist-e2e) and result in "NotFound".
I tried patching the manifest to empty the finalizers list:
kubectl patch experiment mnist-e2e \
-n namespace \
-p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":[]}}' \
--type=merge
I tried dumping a manifest of the "orphaned" resource and then deleting using that manifest:
kubectl get experiment mnist-e2e -n namespace -o yaml > exp.yaml
kubectl delete -f exp.yaml
Delete attempts from the Kubeflow UI Experiments (AutoML) page fail.
Thanks
