Ussuri: how to delete lbaas loadbalancer left over?

Hi, it sounds promising, I hope you get rid of the LBs in a clean  
manner. I just thought it might be the cleanest way to first migrate  
and then delete them properly without leaving any orphans in the  
database. In case you succeed it would be of great value to have your  
solution posted here, thanks!
