My question is what is the vallue e9205ff1-7046-4f16-9292-070f2d99c314 doing there ?

is this a removed dc or something that is still in the active driectory, how can i delete these strange stuff from my active driectory ? Or can someone please try this on a dc to see if this is normal?

That's what it looks like. Note that the last time it replicated to it was in June. There is an object there that your global catalog can't resolve to a name. You can use LDP.EXE from the support tools to edit it out.

It's an LDAP client and it is a GUI interface. The structure is similar to what you see in AD. It does have search capability. It'll give you descriptions like DN= and CN= but it is very similar to looking at a path like c:\folder\folder\file.exe in DOS versus finding the file with explorer. I haven't used it in a long time so I can't give you much on details but it is the recommended tool for finding and removing objects like those you have.

I do know you have to connect it do a domain controller and bind the connection with your domain admin credentials. From there it's a bit blurry. %-)
