AD Sites and Services says they must be deleted one at a time. So does that mean you tried to delete them as a group? What happens if you only select one to delete?<br />
Did you try deleting them from AD Users and Computers?<br />
<br />
If you want a true clean up, use the method Laura linked to.

I solved it myself... In AD Sites and Services I had to delete the replication relationship before I could delete the server itself.<br />
<br />
I had the option then to delete the server completely due to the fact that it was no longer online.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
