Deleted Subdomains Still Active Pointing To A Different Subdomain

One of my sites xxxx.net has several subdomains. 1.xxxx.net 2.xxxx.net 3.xxxx.net 4.xxxx.net 5.xxxx.net I deleted two of the subdomains (2.xxxx.net and 3.xxxx.net). After deleting them, when I surf to those URLs, initially I got the standard "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead" page in FireFox. After clearing all of the cookies and site data in FF then rebooting the server, I no longer get that issue but now the deleted subdomains resolve to one of the other still active subdomains on that site. How do I fix this so that the deleted subdomains do not resolve at all?

  You wait, until they expire in name servers.

  Also, if any of them are pointing to a subdomain with a dedicated IP address, and the A record for the subdomain exists where DNS for it is hosted (i.e., remote dns/DNS hosted at registrar), you won't be able to change this behavior until the A record is removed.
