I imported an example flow to look at how it worked.

It had server settings in it and when i deleted the flow i also deleted the server.

However something is still trying to reference it, but i cannot see it on any of my flows:

```auto
11/08/2019, 16:23:06Home Assistantmsg : string[158]

"Home assistant connection failed with error: Connection to home assistant could not be established with config: http://192.168.86.168:8123 <password redacted>"

```

how do I remove this, please?

In the debug window, do you see the source node ?  
 ![34](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/4/40800746bea6c1f18021f3c68e92cec38c6350c9.jpeg)

You can click the number, or when you hover your mouse over the message you should see a node being selected.
