Yes, and I don't know why the cluster fell apart. The PROX2 was offline (powered off) for quite some time (several months), but it eventually got powered back on - maybe this contributed somehow? I didn't need the VM that was on it, so I thought I had properly deleted it, but am getting the message that it isn't deleted and therefore PROX2 cannot be added back to the original Datacenter cluster.

could you post "find /etc/pve" for both nodes (and indicate which output is from which node)?

okay. I would recommend clearing out the PROX2 dir on PROX1, and the PROX1 dir on PROX2 (if you want to play it safe, you can just move them somewhere outside of /etc/pve), and then retry the join..

That worked! Thank you! I cleared out the folders as directed (by moving them to a /tmp location), ran the join, and it worked!
