   Hi,
   
   I have an AD Connect Server that is connected to 5 AD Forests. When I want to
   remove one directory from the sync I'm not abel to do this with the wizard.
   How is the suggested way to do this? (Did this on a staging server)

   Try to re-ran the wizard and do the required customization and see if that
   works for you. There is a discussion in the server fault forum that you may
   want to refer to -
   https://serverfault.com/questions/808495/remove-certain-ad-sync-from-azure-ad-sync might
   be helpful.

   Hi,
   
   but does this also cover removing a whole AD Forest? Is it supported to
   delete the connection from the manager. Do you think the translation rules
   will be updated?

   The Azure AD Connect wizard does not support deleting AD Connectors
   currently. This can be done thru the Synchronization Service Manager as
   explained here. Deleting the AD Connector will remove all configuration
   including Sync Rules configured for that connector.
