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

[Curtis Gedak]

Thank you for the response Heinz.

I was just wondering if there was something for deleting devices that 
was similar to the way "dmraid -ay" figures out which devices to create.

I can work with "dmsetup remove /dev/mapper/..."
