alternately can demote & promote server containg lingering..sometimes difficult remove lingering object either using repadmin /removelingeringobjects or other tool & easiest way deal such issues demote & re-promote dc. if lingering objects spreads int domain more difficult tackle them.

you need forcefully demote server having lingering object runnning dcpromo/forceremoval followed metadata cleanup , promote server dc.if faulty dc fsmo role holder need seize fsmo on other dc.
