I believe the problem you are expeiencing is due to retention.
A quick way is to delete or rename the entire status file (status.sav)
A less quick way is delete all lines in the status file (status.sav)that
correspond to the host. There will be HOST: and SERVICE: entries, make sure
to yank all of them.
NOTE: If the host changes state while you're doing either of these methods,
you'll get messed up reports for that host.
