If it is still communicating, it might prevent removal. They are probably a device that paired immediately after this. I would see if the 1-2 devices after this have a similar Device Class as this ghost node.
In other words, if this 2E node is a SPECIFIC_TYPE_POWER_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL then find the next instance of that same thing.
Remove power from that next device in the column, and try to remove the ghost again.
