Replication Clean Up of Failed Server

On my distribution server, I have a failed replication (the big red X) for a
server that had hardware failure a couple of weeks ago. We were able to
bring this client up on a separate server and have re-replicated them. Now
I need to get rid of the failed replication however when I try to simply
delete it, it obviously cannot connect to the failed server since it doesn't
exist and therefore will not delete the information from the DISTRIBUTOR.
I would like to avoid manual system table clean up unless someone has the
method that will completely remove this information.
Is there a way to do this correctly?
Thanks,
Adam P. Cassidy
Did you follow these instructions?

Also on your distributor you may have to issue a call to
