Hello David,

automatic clean up of RUV records is available from FreeIPA 3.0. You can see a 
relevant ticket:

https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2303

With FreeIPA 3.0, CLEANALLRUV task is automatically run when a replica is being 
deleted. The task will clean all relevant RUV records on all FreeIPA replicas.

In FreeIPA 2.2.x and earlier, a manual RUV clean up procedure is needed (as 
described in the 389 DS wiki page) to clean deprecated RUV data.

HTH,
Martin
