ProxmoxMachine objects are not finalized

[natitomattis]

What steps did you take and what happened: When deleting a machine, the Proxmox machine object is not terminated properly. I see the following errors in the controller

Reconciler error" err="cannot delete vm with id 102: 500 Internal Server Error" controller="proxmoxmachine" controllerGroup="infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io" controllerKind="ProxmoxMachine" ProxmoxMachine="backend-at1-dev/backend-at1-dev-accelerated-847gn" namespace="backend-at1-dev" name="backend-at1-dev-accelerated-847gn" reconcileID="934e466a-aef9-4467-b0b2-35a3ec3a043b"

It seems like the machine was removed in a previous call and now the controller is failing to find it.

What did you expect to happen: ProxmoxMachine should be removed

Anything else you would like to add:

• I think the issue is related to this one
• I found that the error returned on this line is not the expected does not exist. The error returned when the VM ID does not exist is 500 Internal Server Error

Environment:

• Cluster-api-provider-proxmox version: 0.5.1
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version): v1.28.11
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): Ubuntu 24
