How to delete a dead Splunk Indexer

I have an indexer RHEL7 server that is DEAD.  I have no way of getting into it to run any commands.  I was able to remove it from the Index Cluster using: 

splunk remove cluster-peers -peers <guid>

 However, it is still in the Monitoring Console as an instance unreachable.  How can I fully remove it?

This worked:

Hi

login MC node.

you need to go MC -> Settings -> General 

Then remove/disable/apply that page.

If this doesn’t help, then go first Settings-> Distributed Search -> peers (or something similar). Remove it from there if it’s still there. Then remove it again from MC side.
