There have been improvements to removing an offline DC in recent versions. -- -- James

I've never used the demote command line to remove a RODC. Perhaps you have found a bug. Anyway, you can still remove all the references by hand. To know which entries to delete, you can demote a RWDC in a testbed, it will list all the entries that have to be remove, then you'll have to remove them by hand in your production domain.

Hi Denis You are right I joined the domain as RODC which is now offline and I have deleted the VM. Can you please enlighten me on how to know which entries to delete, How to demote a RWDC in a testbed, it will list all the entries that have to be remove, then you'll have to remove them by hand in your production domain.
