The luksClose / remove should remove mapping if underlying device disappeared.
But there was some bug related to this - which cryptsetup version you are using?
Anyway, you can always use "dmsetup remove" and if it fails, "dmsetup remove -f"
(The second will replace mapping with error target, so you can force detach
even used device.)
