Missing orphaned DFS Namespace server

i have failed namespace server not listed in ad , not found in adsi showing in dfs management dfs namespace server. cannot delete , warning namespace server cannot forcibly removed.

what correct cmd line syntax run?

dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:\\hdh.local\dfs /server:\\missingserver

when run this

usage:

dfsutil /unmapftroot deletes dfs references obsolete
domain based root replica. special problem repair
command , should not confused commands such /remftroot.

usage:
dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:<\\domain\rootshare>
        /server:<roottargetserver> /share:<roottargetshare>

    /root:<dfspath> - dfs domain root operate on.
    /server:<roottargetserver> - name of root target server unmap.
                      should appears in dfs replica info.
    /share:<roottargetshare> - name of root replica share unmap

    e.g: dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:\\docdomain\docroot
              /server:docrootserv2 /share:docroot2

            dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:\\docdomain\docroot
              /server:docrootserv2.docdomain.mycomp.com /share:docroot2

this suggested ms syntax http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776211(v=ws.10).aspx  , not clear need substitute.

dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:\\ex.com\salesdata /server:\\mainshare1

dfsutil /unmapftroot /root:\\domain\share /server:failedserver /share:share
