I use the Utility Explorer to monitor some of my databases but I forgot to remove one before retiring the server. Normally, you could just right click and select "Remove Managed Instance" but I can't do that since the server has been wiped from existence. Now it is stuck in my list without any data

I don't have this set up to test, but what I would try is setting up Profiler to watch Management Studio, and then use the Remove Managed Instance for another server. Then grab the statements and run them for the retired server. Probably all that's needed is a cleanup of records in msdb.dbo.sysutility_* system tables. – Jon Seigel Aug 21 '12 at 16:56
