Some bluetooth devices are permanently listed as "nearby" in bt-settings and can not be deleted by UI means once they are discovered. In my case, i picked up a random device while scanning for my pebble in public. Longpress on the MAC-adress to delete did not work.

Thanks to user lanterns hint at TMO i was able to delete the persistant MAC adress entry by deleting the MAC adresses folder from /var/lib/bluetooth/MY-MACADRESS/

rm -R /var/lib/bluetooth/*MY-DEVICES-MAC*/*MAC-IN-QUESTION*/

User Heik reports the same bug. In his case a failed pair attempt left the devices MAC listed in "nearby" permanently.
