unable to remove NPC and text

[kalebbroo]

paper 1.16.5 st v 1.21.5
If a glitch or plugin conflict removes the NPC you are not able to delete it or the text above. You can kill the NPC but the text remains.

The problem

I created a Villager NPC but I made the mistake of having Worldguard not allow mob spawns. It spawned the NPC text but failed to create the NPC correctly. My mistake obviously but when I corrected the permission in Worldguard the NPC was still broken and was not listed in the "/st npc info". That npc does not exist but I am unable to remove or edit the text that is now an eyesore in my world.

How can I get rid of this "ghost" npc and text?

Steps to Reproduce

1.Deny mob spawning in WorldGuard.
2.Place an NPC
3.Restart server
4.Pour over configs for hours trying to remove ghost NPC.

Just for anyone who has this issue and cannot remove the hologram text. I was finally able to remove it by using this.

/minecraft:kill @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=2]
