Hey!
I am trying to move the Quorum Witness location to another share but it won't let me remove the old location:
Error:
Set-ClusterQuorum: An Error occurred while attempting to delete the resource "File Share Witness"
The cluster resource could not be deleted since it is a core resource

I am able to add the new location fine from the FCS Console and it will show on the Console as online and the old as Offline but in the FCS Console the Delete option is not available for the old location:

I really need to move the Witness ...
Thanks Everyone!

    Good morning,

    I don't know if you have already found the solution but I will share with you what I generally do,

    right click on the name of your cluster then Other actions then Configure the cluster quorum parameters, in the new window you select the option select the quorum witness then next and do not configure a quorum witness.

    this will remove the quorums that were configured then you can configure the new one
