Force delete a NSX manager certificate

I detached and then removed a manager node from an NSX cluster, but a mp-cluster certificate for that node remained in the certificates, which also shows still being used.

So when I try to delete it I get:

Error: Certificate cannot be deleted because it is used by 1 MP node(s). (Error code: 2022)

However it's not used by the mp-cluster anymore and the node it refers to is not a cluster member anymore either.

If it were a plain file I would just rm -rf it, but it's an NSX certificate so how to get rid of it?

@Perttu,

I could not find any official KB or procedure but you could give it a try to this as it is removal: https://vmwire.com/2021/10/11/certificate-cannot-be-deleted-because-it-is-used-by-1-mp-nodes/#:~:tex....
