Have you tried running the Clear-ClusterNode powershell command as listed in the following link?

Install the failover cluster feature and verify you've connected to cluster storage from disk management.
Login to the working cluster sever
Open failover cluster
Right click on the cluster
Manage cluster
Actions-> add node
Select new server
And follow the wizard.

Good luck
