The SQL Server failover cluster instance name '....' already exists as a clustered resource ERROR

Hi all,

I have a 2 node cluster. Windows server 2008 r2 and sql server 2012.

First I created the sql cluster with 2 instances DBA 1 and DAB2. then I decided to remove them and rebuild the cluster. I ran the remove node wizard twice for each node and deleted all sql server 2012 stuff from control panel. Now i'm trying to rebuild my instances but it wouldnt go through. the error " the instance name DBA2" is driving me crazy. I ran cluster res I can see my instance is offline but when I try to bring it online or remove it it gives me the message that the resource could not be found.

What Am I missing here?

PLZ help :(
