Unable to remove a stopped machine

[mjrider]

I get the following error when trying to delete a stopped machine. Not sure if it is a machine driver or a api issue. But not being able to delete an stopped instance sound like a bug to me

$docker-machine create --driver=scaleway --scaleway-commercial-type=DEV1-S --scaleway-image=debian_stretch --scaleway-region=par1 --scaleway-name="testing-docker-machine" testing-docker-machine
....
$ docker-machine stop testing-docker-machine

after starting i'm able to delete the machine

i found this issue when i was trying to use scaleway as gitlab-runner with the docker+machine autoscaling feature. This prevents the gitlab-runner from functioning correctly because it could not delete instances

I've got similar issues using a 'docker+machine' gitlab runner. Gitlab runner can't remove archived machines. Errors found in /var/log/syslog:

Same problem here cannot remove archived machines

Same problem here.
It really needs to delete the instance instead of archiving it.

P.S.: I also have an issue where the MachineName is not reflected on Scaleway instances name.
