There are some "remove" flags in rescan-scsi-bus.sh:
https://github.com/hreinecke/sg3_utils/blob/d4dbbede04db21c206e4c2acc1cf766117f003c3/scripts/rescan-scsi-bus.sh#L1080

-r      enables removing of devices        [default: disabled]
--forceremove:   Remove stale devices (DANGEROUS)
--forcerescan:   Remove and readd existing devices (DANGEROUS)
