rancher: Cluster node stuck in remove state

While accidentally deleting a node that was being registered, the node state is stuck which kills the ability to interact with the cluster.

The UI has

This cluster is currently Unavailable; areas that interact directly with it will not be available until the API is ready. Failed to communicate with API server: Get https://x.x.x.x:6443/api/v1/componentstatuses: net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

While the node says it’s in the “removing” state with the following information Waiting to register with Kubernetes; waiting on user-node-remove_c-v2j5v

I would expect that you shouldn’t be able to get in this state in the first place and is there a work around to still interact with the cluster and remove the node a different way?

I experienced the same problem in 2.0.6, I do not think this is fixed.
