i had a cluster with 4 nodes and a qdevice so 5 votes. I wanted to remove 1 node and the qdevice because I experienced split brain. after trying to remove one node it sees only itself in a cluster but the real cluster has it still listed as offline so I can't use pvecm delnode to remove it because it can't connect. what do I do

/etc/pve/corosync.conf and remove the entries for the disconnected node in the nodelist section. In totem section you'll need to increase the config_version by one, too. Also delete the folder /etc/pve/nodes/<name of removed node>. It contains the configurations of vm and lxc which were running on that node, so eventually making a backup first, might be a good idea.
