I thought about adding the deleted=False filter to this query: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/96fdce7cab7c50736fb96bcaa622dac825031a2f/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L7932 But at this point, libvirt has already told us the domain still exists on the host so filtering by deleted=False doesn't really help here since the instance isn't deleted yet, it's still on the host according to the hypervisor, but it's in the process of being deleted and the files are already cleaned up by the time we hit the error.
