Monitor show distribution agent that was removed.

While setting up transaction replication from 7 to 2000 I generate a push
subscription that failed to copy the initial schema over. I deleted the
subscription that had caused the problem and started another, that finished
okay and is replicating now. However in the Replication
Monitor-Publishers-servername-publicationname I have the failed agent from
the initial subscription and can not remove it. The same thing applies to
the Replication Monitor-Agents-Distribution Agents. It just won't go away.
SQL7 is the publisher and distributor as well as pushing a subscription to
the SQL2000 box.
Ant help would be appreciated.
Hi Charles,
From your descriptions, I understood that you would like to delete failed
agent but failed to do so. Have I understood you? If there is anything I
misunderstood, please feel free to let me know
Based on my knowledge, when you try to delete them, what's the error
message that shows you are denied to do so? More detailed information will
get us closer to the resolutions.
Secondly, I would like to strongly recommand you the following document,
which show you how to remove a replication manually

I can't delete the failed subscription because it does not appear in the
list when I look in the list of subscriptions, the only place that it
appears is in the Monitor. There no way to delete it as far as I know other
than from with in the Publication Properties-Subscriptions and it does not
appear there. The current work subscription is there.

Thanks for your prompt updates!
Based on my knowledge, the list of Agents being displayed in Replication
Monitor are stored in the Tempdb database in the MSreplication_agent_status
table. You could removing a "left over" agent from this table will delete
it from Replication Monitor listing. You can delete any Agent from this
table without causing problems to Replication.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are here to be of assistance!
