To guarantee the removal of an attribute when I don't know if the attribute exists already or not I often employ the following LDIF:

============== dn: cn=config changeType: modify replace: attrToDelete attrToDelete: dummy

delete: attrToDelete

You can use this instead: dn: cn=config changeType: modify replace: attrToDelete -
