[SOLVED] Could not remove a VM with missing drives

[RocketSam]

Hello.
In PVE 9, it is impossible to remove a VM with missing drives. Same for the console operation. How can I resolve this issue?

Could not remove disk 'cifs:113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2', check manually: qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': No such file or directory
disk image '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-0.qcow2' does not exist
disk image '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-1.qcow2' does not exist
TASK ERROR: qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': No such file or directory

I tried removing the drive with no success either.

failed to update VM 113: qemu-img: Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': Could not open '/mnt/pve/cifs/images/113/vm-113-disk-2.qcow2': No such file or directory (500)

I have no idea what caused this issue, but I manually removed the problematic file from the cifs server and it solved the issue.
