HA "non-active" after removing swdsk files

I am testing the StarWind software in different scenarios. I have discovered that in the console when you delete a HA image, it does not delete anything on the HV host. Knowing this, I cleared out one of the host by removing off it out of the StarWind console and then deleting the files. With the second host I deleted the HA files on the host and then went back to delete the instance in the console, which is when I ran into the "non-active" issue. I can highlight the "HAImage1" but there are no options to remove them since they are referencing files that no longer exist. How do I delete these entries? I have tried uninstalling the console, removing the server but nothing has worked.

Select Witness, but not HAImage1. Right-click on that and select Force Remove Target.

Nothing shows up when you right click on Witness, same as the others.

Brief update for the community:

The issue was caused by different licenses applied to the two test servers you had. Once we changed the license to the proper one, everything started working as expected.
