I have a Vsphere Cluster where I try to delete a Node. The Deletion it self was sucessfull, the VM is deleted in Vsphere but it is still visible in Rancher: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/suse/original/2X/e/edcd59a78721671cef6c5b1c23f81f9ae4f6f9a2.png) I already try to delete it via the UI and the API, without any success. I think deleting the Finalizer would do it but I dont see any way to do this (because I dindt see the Node anymore in kubectl). Is there a Way out of it? I need the Cluster in an normal State again. I appreciate any Help. Thanks ---

If you’re sure that the VM was deleted then I think if you have access to the Rancher Manager UI, you can edit the node yaml and remove the finalizers and save it. This will remove the node.
