[Samba] Unable to remove orphan DC entries

Hi
I recently attempted to promote another dc into my domain and then 
removed it which apparently didn't go well.

The message said removal was successful however: I'm left with:

DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=domain,DC=local
         NTDS DN: CN=NTDS 
Settings\0ADEL:0b41b6fb-d606-47c1-a7bd-61b8c84d4300,CN=VDC02\0ADEL:0e9bb614-0644-4b4d-9929-04f3137aa958,CN=Servers,CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=local
                 DSA object GUID: 0b41b6fb-d606-47c1-a7bd-61b8c84d4300
                 Last attempt @ Tue Apr  8 11:41:07 2014 EDT failed, 
result 2 (WERR_BADFILE)
                 13798 consecutive failure(s).
                 Last success @ NTTIME(0)


I've cleared out any references to the now orphaned DC via adsiedit and 
ensured there were no more DNS entries remaining and yet the error 
persists.  I can not find any more references anywhere to remove. Is 
there a hidden DB or something else I need to remove?
