How to detach deleted databases?

I asked this question in the Tools General forum but received no response. Does anybody is this forum know how to resolve this problem? Here it is again with a bit more info:

When I ran sseutil -l, I discovered several databases that were still attached. However, they were old test projects that had previously been deleted. How do I detach them if they no longer exist? Using the detach command will not work because it just gives me a message: No valid database name matches the value specified.

Apparently, this question is too difficult. Doesn't anybody have a clue on how to do this?|||Did you try using
sseutil.exe -d<nameofthedatabase>
?
HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.|||Yes, of course. That's the problem. The test databases no longer exist so sseutil can't find them. So it won't detach them.
