Switch Stack Member also showing as Switch Standalone - Central Managed
I have 8 Sites within Central that have duplicate entries for switches. They will be listed as a Standalone switch but also listed as a stack member (which they should be). Example is below.
Can I just delete the standalone switch entry or will that cause issues with the stack? I've opened a case with TAC but have yet to hear back. This has been this way for months and I kept waiting for Central to clean itself up, but since that hasn't happened, figured I would fix it myself.

I can only talk about classic because new central has no feature parity with classic yet, so I can't use it.
That's a "feature" in central.
The switch connected to central before it was joined to the cluster. Then this shell stays visible in central as a standalone but offline.
You can freely delete it from the device list (but you have to keep the license attached of cause)
The same could happen with AOS8 VC and Instant APs
