That documentation is old; crm_node -R does remove the node from the CIB.

The above command removes the node from pacemaker itself, but not the
underlying cluster layer, which should be done first.

High-level tools often offer simple commands to handle both the
pacemaker and cluster layer parts for you. For pcs, it's "pcs cluster
node remove <nodename>".

Otherwise, the process for removing the node from the cluster layer
varies by what you're using -- heartbeat, corosync 1 with plugin,
corosync 1 with CMAN, or corosync 2. Generally, you want to stop the
cluster software on the node to be removed first, then remove the node
from the layer's configuration on the remaining nodes if it is
explicitly specified there.
