Yeah, this a bit of a troublesome problem. Unfortunately, it depends on your exact situation. If you have instances stuck in a state such as build, rebuild, or resize, you can manually change the instance's status by updating the vm_state field in the instances table to active and then trying to delete again. If that fails, the next thing I've seen is that sometimes the compute process has crashed on the compute node. If neither of those work then I'm a bit stumped.

There was a mention somewhere that you have to manually remove it from the database but I am not sure exactly what command will do that.
