Removing old dead exchange server

I am moving a company back to Exchange 2010 from GMAIL. The story goes, they had exchange, the server died, they moved to GMAIL  and have contracted me to move them back to exchange. However the former company never removed the old mail server from the AD. I need to remove the old server completely so it no longer exist. I thought I did this through adsiedit, however after the install of the new exchange server, the old one It is still coming up under the console server configuration tab.. What else do I need to do to remove it.. I do not see it listed in the active directory.

1. DCDIAG
2. AD BPA
3. Exchange BPA
1B . DCDIAG should show dirty permissions to remove exchange? we can use ADSI edit here to hard remove. more details coming.
