n-corp-sw#stack unconfigure clean
This command is not available on standalone or Active Controller
n-corp-sw#sh stack
alone: standalone, D: dynamic config, S: static config

Current stack management MAC is 0024.38bf.fb00

Eventually, I found that "erase startup" also deleted the stacking.boot 
file as well as the startup config, which I suspect contains the stack 
membership data.  So did that and reloaded and I was back to being unit 1, 
then copied the config back fixing the ports along the way and I'm back in 
business!

Many thanks for the hints!
