  Hello,

  if you disjoin a machine from the domain it will not be removed automatically from AD UC, this you have to do manual with right-click and delete.

  What you see is by design, any system which has been removed from the domain or crashed, that object remain in AD & you have to remove it manually.Regrading DNS record of that computer object, its DnsTombstoned attribute is marked true for later deletion.

  As others mentioned here, there is no automatic mechanism in AD to delete these computer accounts.  You have to manually delete them.  Or you can use a DSQUERY COMPUTER INACTIVE command to identify them.

  Here is another example – identify and delete the stale computers from AD:
