Unconfigured objects keep appearing for deleted host

Nagios XI 2012R1.1
We recently shut down one of our monitored servers, so I deleted its host and related services from NagiosXI and applied the changes.
The old server is definitely NOT running (EDIT: that was totally wrong, see below), however we continue to see its services appear as new Unconfigured Objects.
I deleted /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects, and within a few minutes the file reappears with entries for the deleted host.
There are NO entries for the deleted host in any config files under /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/ and /usr/local/nagios/etc/services/.
What are we missing?
Update:
I started monitoring /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log for the host name, and saw several messages like the following:
Where is the "Check result queue" and what could be populating it?
Btw, the old server was using passive services to communicate its status to Nagios.
And as I wrote that line, I was just informed by a co-worker that we had been told the server was shut down, but it really hadn't been yet.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time with this!
