How to remove a gateway member from a gateway cluster?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

We installed on-premise data gateway on more than one server and put them in a cluster. But for some reason we had to remove member of the cluster off some of the servers because it was disturbing other activities on that server. So we uninstalled the gateway from the server where it wasn't working. The thing is the name of the gateway we used in the cluster remains, when I go on PowerBI service I still see the unactive gateway members, it says they are inactive and with an outdated version of the on-premise gateway software.  

We are trying to optimize our cluster and at the moment we created more gateway member than we are using.

Would you know how I can remove them from the cluster without deleting the whole cluster? We need to do a little clean up of our cluster.

Maybe you could try it with the PowerShell commandlets mentioned here:

There's a Remove-DataGatewayClusterMember command in the documentation.
