It sounds like it is a replication conflict entry. You can confirm by
doing something like 'ipa host-find xxx.example.com --all' and look at
the DN. If it has nsuniqueid in the DN then it is a conflict entry. See
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/8.2/html/Administration_Guide/Managing_Replication-Solving_Common_Replication_Conflicts.html
but given you want to remove it you can do so via ldapdelete.
