Cause

The Global Manager failed to fully complete the deletion of the static routes from its policy state, resulting stuck in a marked_for_delete status. 

Resolution

A cleanup is required and so reach out to Broadcom support.
See Creating and managing Broadcom support cases for details on opening a case.
