Hi Dag, I understand that now, but a gui message stating this fact would be very helpful, similar to the one I've received when I tried to remove the host via the cloudmonkey. The gui didn't give me an error message, instead it showed me the spinning circle indefinitely, giving false hope that the job is being processed. This part of the GUI definitely a bug (or a broken workflow) and not a feature.
