Through a series of bad luck and horrible timing my clustered volumes had some corruption and failures.
long story short. We had another switch going out and where in the process of switching it out (in another building) when we had another switch fail and managed to loose power to the other switch that the 2 node Hyper V cluster was connected too. There was lots of corruption, some was repaired and some where restored via backups but we got all the vm's back up on other hyper V hosts.

Now it's time to repair the cluster
The witness drive now shows 0 available of 0 B. Any pointers on where I should start with this? I can't put that drive into maintenance mode but I can the other drive. I'm not sure where to start on this manually.

on a side note I wouldn't mind resizing the witness drive down to something a little more reasonable. I had it at 200 Gb initially.

Regarding Witness drive, 1 Gb should be enough. You can just simply create a new StarWind HA device and change Witness in the Cluster.
