Hi all,

i want to remove a cluster-node from GUI that is already removed wird "pvecm delnode NODENAME".

The directory in /etc/pve/nodes cannot be removed because there is a directory named ".fuse_hidden000029b800000003" inside. This file also cannot be removed, and when i remove it, it will be restored in the directory immediately.

What should i do to get the node removed from GUI?
 
Try running lsof /etc/pve/nodes/nodename/.fuse_hiddenXXXX to find out which process is using the file.
The problem could be related to some shared storage devices that are still present.
 
OK now that i'm looking in this dir again, it is now empty and i can remove/move it.

So all is now fine :)
