Delete old dead external hard drive from disk utility

My external hard drive died. I have a new one installed for Time Machine. The old HD Backup is still in the sidebar in disk utility. How can I remove it?

Mac mini, iOS 10.1.1, iphone SE

Oops, you're talking about Disk Utility, not the Finder, my mistake. If it's listed in the sidebar of Disk Utility, then it still exists.


Remove it using TimeMachine.
