I am trying to delete a virtual network. It has an IP pool, soman. Soman had two child pools, managersearch and sensor. I successfully deleted ManagerSearch, but Sensor is still showing up as a child pool. When I click sensor, it says "Resource not Found". When I try to delete soman, it says it can't be deleted because it still has a child pool Edit:
Issue was fixed. I signed into the cli and got a list of resources. Once I did that, the junk resources disappeared from the web GUI, allowing me to delete the last IP pool and then the network manager
