What do You want to remove, a DC in a domain or child domain ?
id DC try to demote it with /forceremoval switch and then do cleanup

Or If You done this and You can't remove DSA object try to connect to
different DC not the one You want to remove
following http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=216498

Note If you try to connect to the same server that you want to delete,
when you try to delete the server that step 15 refers to, you may
receive the following error message:
Error 2094. The DSA Object cannot be deleted0x2094

just wondering where should i run the ntdsutil?
at the child domain(problem end\need to be remove) or
parent dc? or i need to do the metadata clean up at all
the 2 parent dc and others child dc?
cos i put the parent dc at 2 server child domain at each
branches.
