Member of the fourms cant remove a datastore from inventory even though it has been unpresented from the san.
Rescan and refresh of the datastore will not remove it.
Good point by A.P. :
Issues like this are often seen if there's still a reference to the deleted/removed datastore (e.g. an ISO file mounted to a VM) Another reason could be a VM with a snapshot which - at the time of creation - had a reference to this datatstore.

But here is the sweet post:
If you really want it removed you can manually remove it.
Maybe it helps to remove it from /etc/vmware/esx.conf
I have not seen instructions either - I just log in via ssh as root
Then I use winscp and navigate to /etc/vmware
There you can right-click esx.conf and edit it.
That helped me once to fix a similar issue.
You will find a section starting with
/storage/lun
Every LUN has two lines ... I just removed the two lines for te LUN in question.
Create a backup of the file first

Why I wouldn’t recommned this unless it’s vital:
You are editing the host directly.
That’s ok if you have one or two.
What about 10, 20, 100, or even 500 hosts?
Not unheard of.
Still its good knowledge to have.
