Can't remove a LXC machine after badly thought out upgrade

I had some LXC containers running on my Proxmox server and wanted up upgrade the hard disk they were located on. I moved their storage to another hard disk on my server, shut down the server, replaced the disk with some 6Tb disks and powered everything back on. Created a new zpool with the new disks and moved the LXC storage back. Except I missed one container. The container itself isn't a problem because it served a simple function (in ran apt-cache-ng) so I just rebuilt it. But I can't get rid of the old one from the GUI. If I try and remove it I get

TASK ERROR: storage 'zfspool' does not exists

Which is correct, it doesn't. But I can't get past this "I can't delete it because it doesn't exist for me to delete it" impasse. So I tried deleting the files from the server but that hasn't removed the machine from the GUI.

Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of it? It's not breaking anything, it's just annoying.

Thanks

Steve
