?re-promoting a demoted DC that used to hold FSMO role

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have come to the last resort of seizing FSMO role as the DC that hold all the FSMO roles can no longer be properly restored. I will force demote the problematic DC and clean the metadata.
 
My questions:
1. Is it OK to promote the demoted DC again after its FSMO roles are all being seized and demoted?
2. Do I need to remove all the DFS replicas hosted by this server before it is being demoted or promoted?
