Issue

The Trident backend is in deleting state:

+------------------+----------------+--------------------------------------+----------+---------+
|       NAME       | STORAGE DRIVER |                 UUID                 |  STATE   | VOLUMES |
+------------------+----------------+--------------------------------------+----------+---------+
| ISCSI-Backend    | ontap-san      | 74d7c2af-7140-41d3-b66d-7943477075cd | online   |      27 |
| NFS-Backend      | ontap-nas      | 5e542122-563c-4c86-a34d-f0528be250e5 | deleting |       1 |
+------------------+----------------+--------------------------------------+----------+---------+


The backend state is 'failed':

# tridentctl get backend NFS-Backend -oyaml | tail
    zone: ""
  configRef: ""
  name: NFS-Backend
  online: false
  protocol: file
  state: failed
  storage: {}
  volumes:
  - pvc-5e96748f-5ebb-473d-b942-dd78d729469f


Trying to delete the corresponding volume generates error:
