SOLUTION:

on both nodes:

[root@pu-tdr1-19c install]# crsctl stop crs -f

[root@pu-tdr1-19c install]# asmcmd afd_deconfigure -f

AFD-632: Existing AFD installation detected.

AFD-634: Removing previous AFD installation.

AFD-635: Previous AFD components successfully removed.

Modifying resource dependencies - this may take some time.

[root@pu-tdr2-19c bin]# /opt/bin/oracle/grid/19.3.0.0/bin/acfsroot disable

ACFS-9544: Invalid files or directories found: 'missing[], extra[5.15.0-0.30.19]'
