An operation that was part of destroying the cluster did not succeed. Try restarting the server to see if this resolves the error. If not, use commands to force cleanup on former cluster nodes, and to force the clearing of persistent reservations on disks formerly used by the cluster. These commands help ensure that the cluster configuration has been completely removed.
If you do not currently have Event Viewer open, see "Opening Event Viewer and viewing events related to failover clustering." If the event contains an error code that you have not yet looked up, see "Finding more information about error codes that some event messages contain."
To perform the following procedures, you must be a member of the local Administrators group on the server, or you must have been delegated the equivalent authority.
To force cleanup on a former cluster node after the cluster has been destroyed:
CLUSTER NODE /FORCECLEANUP
To force the clearing of persistent reservations on a disk formerly used by the cluster:
CLUSTER NODE /CLEARPR:disknumber
where disknumber is the number of the disk as it appeared in Disk Management.
