Ghost Node

[Spartan67]

One of the nodes in my cluster died and I cannot seem to get rid of it.

I did a: pvecm delnode sn-pve-34 and it no longer shows up when doing a pvecm status but it is still showing up in server view and the vm's that were on it when it died (I restored the vm's from backup to a working node with different vmid's)

So how do I get rid of VM's that no longer exist as well as the node...? I also noticed that on my good VM's that the remove option is greyed out.

Moving (for backup purposes) or deleting (if you are completely sure) the directory: sn-pve-34 (quadruple check/verify the name!) including its content out of or in: /etc/pve/nodes/ should do it: [1].

Thanks that worked on getting rid of the ghost node and vm's but I still have the inability to Remove vm's oddly enough the option is greyed out.

I noticed it while trying to figure out if there was some way to delete the ghost vm's prior to your recommendation.

Disregard this is my stupidity... the VM has to be obviously shutdown in order to remove. So was looking at that issue incorrectly. Thanks for the tip though on getting rid of those ghost devices.
