I am new to proxmox and have found it to be great. I have setup a 4 node cluster, but needed to remove one node. I followed the instructions and command pvecm delnode. I ran this after doing a shutdown of the node I wanted to remove. I received no errors when doing this.
I also removed the node's folder in order for it be removed from the GUI. This folder removal was synced to the other nodes. Everything looked good until I ran pvecm status. It shows expected votes to still be at 4. Then from the GUI, it still shows the removed node as offline and under cluster, it says I'm no in standalone mode and that I need to create a cluster.
I tried doing a reboot on one of the nodes and this didn't change anything.

Thank you for any help you can provide. below is the output from the status command.

root@Vpve1:/etc/pve/nodes# pvecm status

Got it straightened out. Had to modify the corosync.conf file and remove the deleted node from it. after that, restarted the corosync service and all is good now.
