Can't delete a network printer?

Essence of the question. There are three printers hanging on the terminal server marked (redirected XX) where xx is a number (it is not clear what it means) when trying to delete a printer under the administrator account, an error pops up - the selected printer cannot be deleted. the operation cannot be completed (error 0x0004005)
The ports cannot be removed. It is also impossible to rename printers, what to do with them?
Windows Server 2003

stop the spooler, look at what is in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS folder, delete everything that is there, run the spooler, and try to delete the printer, and then delete the ports

Regarding redirected printers:

You won't disable them by deleting them, they are created automatically. You need to disable the redirect itself.
The \PRINTERS folder stores only print spooler jobs.
