Hello Carl,
This blocker had been put in place to discourage accidently monitoring cluster by multiple copies of performance manager. What performance manager does is insert
a record on the cluster that it is managing, effectively claiming it. In your case, that record must be deleted manually on the cluster to allow a new performance manager instance to manage it.
Support can walk you through the fix which requires DIAG level. You can find more in KB article 1015028 :

Subject: Deleted Performance Manager
How can I remove a cluster from a deleted installation of Performance Manager so that I can add it to a new instance of Performance Manager? When I attempt to add the cluster to the new Performance Manager, it tells me that it has to be
removed from the deleted installation first.
