  Hi,
  
  Are your DCs online? Based on my research, if DCs are working properly, you can have a try with Uninstall-ADDSDomainController to demote DCs, and there may have no need to cleanup the metadata. If not, ntdsutil.exe may be a better way to cleanup the metadata. The following links for your reference, hope it is helpful to you:

  Ntdsutil

  If you need further help, please feel free to let us know.
  
  Best Regards,
