Help: srvctl

I am learning to use RAC 10.2 on linux

I did a
$srvctl add database -d rac -o /opt/oracle/product_10g/10.2
$srvctl add instance -d rac -i vlinux1 -n vlinux1
$srvctl add instance -d rac -i vlinux2 -n vlinux2
$srvctl start database -d rac

Then I realized I made a mistake. vlinux1 is the hostname, the instance name should be rac1. Of course, the instance can not be started

So i am trying
$ srvctl stop instance -d rac -i vlinux1
$ srvctl remove instance -d rac -i vlinux1
Remove instance vlinux1 from the database rac? (y/[n]) y PRKP-1023 : The instance {0} is still running.rac

There is no instance vlinux1 running on this box, but OCR thinks that it is still running and would not let me remove them.

Any suggestions?
