This post describes how to fix the error:
Windows cannot delete object LDAP://... because: A referral was returned from the server.
Cause
This error occurred when I was trying to delete a domain controller using Active Directory Sites and Services. The domain controller was part of a child domain which I had demoted.
Resolution
I force deleted the server using ADSIEdit:
1. Open ADSI Edit.
2. Right click the ADSI Edit root node in the tree view on the left then select Connect to...
3. In Connection Settings, change the Naming Context to Configuration then press OK
4. Navigate down to CN=Servers then right click the server you want to delete and select Delete
