DFS - can't remove or recreate an old root

[OverWorked]

I've got DFS running OK, with three roots.

 

I've tried to create a new root but I get the message:-

 

The DFS root "rootname" already exists.  Please give a different name for the new DFS root.

 

There's no root of that name listed, so when I try to show the root, the one I want is in the list under "show root..." . When I select it I get

 

"The specified DFS root does not exist"

 

There's some trace of the old root (I must have created and deleted it a while ago) still hanging around somewhere (AD?). How do I get rid of it?

 

I can easily get round this problem by just using a different name, but would like to reuse the original name if I can.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Fixed it (partially), if anyone's interested.
