[SOLVED] rbd error: rbd: listing images failed: (2) No such file or directory (500)

Do you have the keyring for the pool in place? If you disabled ceph auth, then you also need to remove the keyring for the storage.
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pvesm.html#_authentication

Also add the question: Are the CEPH perhaps so busy deleting other VM's data that it can't handle this deletion request?"

Just had the exact same error... and after the big boy's deletion where done, and the ceph "stabilized" things just "work(TM)" again

Spoiler: problem and the gone after CEPH stabilized

I have encountered same kind of problem (proxmox v6) with ceph rbd. I problem came from a VM image on the rbd that wasn't destroyed during the destruction of the VM.
I have found the problem switching from "rbd -p my-pool list" to "rbd -p my-pool list --long". I had i line more in the short version. It was the faulty image to remove by "rbd -p my-pool rm my-faulty-file".

After hours of trying this worked perfectly.
