Well it turned out that removing all these deleted dns records via 
ldbmodify on my two ad dc's results in an inconsistent dns database. 
Means i can not delete records via samba-tool or windows DNS server gui. 
After the deleteion and an tdbbackup of the ldb file it had shrunk to 
~1MB. I assume i have to wait now till these old entries expire.
