Aboveground, there is an upstair. It is simply named "Up Stair", no material. It cannot be removed through: Remove construction, remove up stairs/ramps, mining, or even through tiletypes from DFHack (although I may be doing it wrong). How do I get rid of it? It's in the way of something I need to build.

Try a cave in?

Will constructed stuff work for this, or only natural?

Try both. Was this there at embark, or did you build it? Did you reclaim or embark on a worldgen site? Is it full of stars?

Try a cave in?

That would be my choice of action in this case, too.
Channel the six squares around it, and build a floor tile beside the stairway and attach it to a lever.  After you've mined under the staircase, zone the area under it as restricted to keep gawkers out and pull the lever deconstruct the tile.
(edit note: twas tired when I first wrote this. )
If there's already empty space below, just restrict that area before you channel the last square.

Oh, a cave in below. Somehow I wasn't thinking before. And yeah, it was built by my dwarves. I'd drop it, but given the location, it might end badly. It's right next to my main staircase, with quite a few dug-out floors directly below it.

Maybe it's an artifact!

Did you look at it in Set Building Tasks (q), and remove it from there (x) ?
