# Leave Cluster

`DELETE /cluster/reset-node`

Safely remove this node from Raft and clear its local cluster state.
Registered guests block a multi-node leave by default. Set retainGuests=true to keep local VM and jail registrations and release their cluster ID claims after membership removal. Other dependencies still block.
