As of z/OS 2.1, you can remove a phantom console by MVS command. IEAEWLCN still works--as well as IEARELEC for EMCS consoles--but the command route is cleaner.
SETCON DELETE,CN=SMCSSY1 The command, however, requires distributed mode. . . .

The service essentially allows the Consoles component to forget that there ever was a console with that name. There is no longer any association between that console name and any device on any of your systems (as indicated by the D C response). I would recommend moving to distributed mode at your earliest convenience.
