PDQ Inventory scanning old computers

Hello,

I have the free version of PDQ inventory. I ran a standard scan on our entire AD and it pulled very old computers into the inventory.

About 80% of them are old deleted computers from the AD. I don't see any of them listed within the DNS or Active Directory.

Any reason why it's pulling old computers to the inventory list?

Thanks!

Were the computers removed from Active Directory or moved to another OU for 'safe keeping'?

It was removed I guess after the computer were decommissioned / no longer in service. I don't see them anywhere in the AD so I'm not too sure where it's pulling it from.
