IPv6Address won't get removed

[docbobo]

A few weeks ago I tried enabling ipv6 on my network but had to disable that again due to some weird issues. Ever since, I get the following log outputs in calico-node over and over again:

bird: Mesh_2a02_8108_4c8d_3b01_a022_2eff_febd_789c: Socket error: bind: Cannot assign requested address

I believe this is due to the fact that there is projectcalico.org/IPv6Address annotation on each of my nodes, but I have no idea how to get rid of it. As far as I am concerned, I have removed all the settings that would enable ipv6 support, the nodes do not receive an ipv6 address either.

I tried manually removing the annotation, but that resulted in calico-node failing to start at all.

This is on 3.29.1

@docbobo could you share how you've installed Calico and how you enabled / disabled IPv6 in this case? Is this a Calico operator install or something else? If so, could you share your Installation resource?

Might be worth raising an issue and filling out the template, which prompts for some of the information that we'll need to diagnose: https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/issues/new/choose
