The user isn't corrupt, it is an object that experienced a replication conflict (or collision if you prefer).
ADSIEDIT and LDP both can delete this if you can locate it. In LDP use tree view mode and browse down to it. You should also be able to do this with ADSIEDIT. If you can't find it, either it was already deleted and the GAL is not getting updated (i.e. offline/cached) or you aren't looking in the right place.

There are some corrupt user objects in AD. In the exchange addressbook, there is an user object that was deleted..
When you browse in the ad (UAC) where the object is placed, its not there. Only when search on "Entire Directory", then you find the user object like: Clarke,Andrew <square control character> CNF:6a70d5f5- 23d1-9cc2-8e96aff678c2. If you try to delete is, you get an error (Windows cannot delete object Clarke,Andrew <square control character> CNF:6a70d5f5- 23d1-9cc2-8e96aff678c2 because: Directory object not found.
I have used LDP and ADSIEdit, but with both tools i could not find the user object. When you make a new user with the same name (Clarke,Andrew), ad accepts it.
What can i do, to delete the corrupt user object from the ad and addressbook?
