Is there any way to get rid of this nuisance?  A left over upward ramp attached to nothing suspended in mid air.   I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work.

Have you tried building a stairway up next to it and deconstructing it (if constructed) or mining it away (if not)? If those don't work, you're probably stuck with it.

You don't have cave-ins turned off by any chance? Turning that on would fix it, but have some unfortunate side-effects.

You can always download Gibbed's Dwarf Fortress Tweak, located here:

And then get the For each Tile module, which is here: http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Utility:For_Each_Tile

In the for each tile module there is a button where you can remove the buggy ramps.

If it was a natural ramp, build a stair up to right next to it, build a wall on the ramp, deconstruct the wall, then the stairs.

[Arrkhal]

Might also be possible to build a wall under it, then designate remove upward ramps.

I once had a floating downward ramp, with no corresponding up ramp beneath it.  Constructing an up ramp under it, then deconstructing, got rid of it.

Forgive the obvious, but have you tried d -> z, smooth upward ramp/stairs?

Related question:

What's the minimum amount of support you can have for a ramp? Can a floor on the z level above support a ramp, or does it need a wall tile adjacent?

[Frelock]

Constructed ramps can have just the floor beneath it.  Natural ramps *usually* need a supporting wall, though ramping out large sections always leaves a few stragglers for some reason.
