If you know what to remove, yes that works. Or the 'manage entities' page will assist: 
 
 Or automatic removal like simon.stone describes. Then refresh and add the discovered interfaces (using discovery for automatic imports, or hit refresh on the List resources page for it to go out and get new information). If you use the List resources page and it doesn't show the unknown interface to stop monitoring it, the other methods will still let you clean it up.

You need to enable DELETE STALE INTERFACES option in the Orion Polling Settings. By default it's 7 days but you can change the STALE INTERFACE RETENTION to meet your requirements.
