Solutions

1. Check the preceding stderr output for the underlying error.
2. Verify the node exists and you have Computer/Delete permission.
3. Disconnect the node first if it is currently connected, then retry delete-node.

When it happens

Trigger: Raised when the delete-node CLI command fails partway (e.g. an exception while disconnecting or removing the node). The root cause is printed to stderr before this summary line.

Common situations: See trigger scenarios.
