Unable to Delete Host

I made a mistake when initially configuring a Host. I am unable to delete the Host now, when I try I get the following error.

Host Deletion Error

Could not find a unique id for this host
Host cannot be deleted using this method

One or more errors were detected that prevent the host from being deleted.

Possible causes include...
•The host is associated with other hosts, services, or objects that need to be deleted first
•The host is maintained in a static or external configuration file

To resolve this issue...
•Use the Nagios Core Configuration Manager to delete the host - or -
•Manually delete the host definition from the appropriate external configuration file


I do not see the host or associated service in the Nagios Core Configuration Manager.

How did you create the host in XI? Was it in the static folder by any chance?

Additionally, what version of XI are you running?
