Describe the issue:
We don't recommend enabling FORCE_OSD_REMOVAL until the OSD can be removed gracefully.
The osd removal job can take time as the data on the OSD (being removed) needs to be backfilled to other available OSD's.
If the ocs-osd-removal-job does not move to Completed state after more than 10 minutes, delete the JOB ["oc delete -n openshift-storage job ocs-osd-removal-job"] and enable the FORCE_OSD_REMOVAL flag
[oc process -n openshift-storage ocs-osd-removal -p FAILED_OSD_IDS=${osd_id_to_remove} FORCE_OSD_REMOVAL=true |oc create -n openshift-storage -f -]
