    Its always a hassle when you don't remove a DC in the "normal" way.

    When you don't, you need to do a Metada cleanup for that DC.

    Hi, 

    Removing metadata via Active Directory Users and Computers
    Log in to DC server as Domain/Enterprise administrator and navigate to Server Manager > Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
    Expand the Domain > Domain Controllers.
    Right click on the Domain Controller you need to manually remove and click Delete.

    Hope this answer will help you.
