Removing a non-existant Domain Controller

Hi experts!
I have a small 2003 domain with 2 Win 2003 DC's.  I am going back now that I actually have a little time to research some things that existed prior to my arrival and it looks like there is an old non-existant DC still listed in the AD users and computers.  Is it safe to remove that from the ADUS so I stop getting events pertaining to it?  Is there any harm in leaving it if thats a better thing to do?  Any other cleanup I should check for?  Thanks!!

Excellent, thanks!  Are there going to be any issues otherwise I might have since I really don't know the state the old DC "left" in?  Any other things I should watch out for or get rid of?
