I’ve been testing the agent and ended with few nodes which doesn’t exist anymore. I’ve been trying to clean it but receive errors when trying to remove the nodes.

Hi @Otavio_Salvador ! Thank you for your report.

Please have a look at this discussion: [Delete old node Netdata Cloud · Discussion #12674 · netdata/netdata · GitHub](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/discussions/12674). It is a new change we introduced recently.

Thanks!
