We need to go back to figuring out why the instance couldn't be deleted
originally.  Do you know how you got it into that state?

If all else fails, the brute force is manually removing the instance
from the database and the hypervisor, but you should never have to do that.

Do other nova commands give you that error?  Can you provide the full
command and output?
