Which command updates /dev/mapper entries after partition deletion?

When a new partition is created, the "dmraid -ay" command can be used to 
create the missing entry in /dev/mapper.  The opposite situation does 
not appear to work wherein I delete a partition.

Which command should be used to remove and/or update the /dev/mapper 
entries when a partition is deleted?

Attached is a log of my session where I used parted to delete a 
partition, and then tried to delete all the /dev/mapper entries with 
"dmraid -an".
