Re-named AD Site -- manually delete DNS entries ?

I just re-named an AD site and it seemingly went fine.

However, in AD-DNS I still have both entries for the old site name and  the newly re-named site name.

Do I have to manually delete old dns entries for the old site name?

It shows up in:

_msdcs -> dc ->  _sites
_msdcs -> gc -> _sites
_sites
DomainDNSZones -> _sites
ForestDNSZones -> _sites



thanks

Hmmm.  The old site DNS records are still there (7 hours later)...

 I even tried:

nltest /dsregdns
Flags: 0
Connection Status = 0 0x0 NERR_Success
The command completed successfully

but I still have the old site info in DNS

btw, i'm running W2008 R2 std.

Yes, I do have scavenging enabled. The next scheduled time is two days from today.  I just checked the properties and the records should be deleted on the next scavenging cycle.  I guess I'll just be patient and wait to see if it cleans up correctly.

Can I keep this question open for a couple of days while I'm waiting?  I hope so.

thx.
