Orphaned DFS, can't remove

At some point in the past a customer must have toyed with DFS then abandoned it.  We're now preparing to deploy DFS Namespaces and after DFS was installed on Server 2022 an old one showed up:

 

\\domain.local\profiles 

 

Clicking on it gives me the RPC Server not found.  I can "hide" it but it says it'll still be available, but since it doesn't work it really should be deleted.

 

I can only assume they toyed with doing roaming profiles or something in the past.  The Namespace doesn't exist when I attempt to browse to it and when it use ASDI Edit (as described here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/2463ce92-7767-4135-b8c7-31c736bdabc2/orphaned-dfs-namespace-how-to-remove?forum=winserverfiles) where I would normally see the orphaned Namespace it's not there.

 

Any thoughts on where/how I find this Namespace so I can remove it.
