You can set the state to be deleted in mysql.  This usually works for me,
you can vary the 'where' statement to find the exact instance you're
looking for(hostname, uuid, id, etc):

mysql> use nova

select * from instances where uuid='25ab2f48-508d-49a0-9a74-ee42e32c6674';
update instances set vm_state='deleted' where
uuid='25ab2f48-508d-49a0-9a74-ee42e32c6674';
flush privileges;
