[Openstack] Deleting instance in error state does not free resources

 Hi all!

 I am setting up an Ocata installation from scratch and my problem is 
 when some instances come up in ERROR state (for various reasons).

 Since they are not usable when they are deleted they still continue to 
 consume resources (VCPUs, Number of Instances, RAM etc). This obviously 
 affects the availability to new VMs.

 The only way is to clean them up using the "nova-manage project 
 quota_usage_refresh"


 What could be wrong? Han anyone else encountered this?

 Best,

 George
