The question is actually "How to remove...".

It can be ejected by using the device path

diskutil eject /dev/disk4

Substitute disk4 for whichever disk is offensive.


Mount them through Disk Utility and you will see them in Finder where you can just unmount them by clicking on the eject icon in the sidebar next to their names (in Finder) and they will disappear.
