The Document That Won't Go Away

Back when it was just Google Docs instead of Google Drive, somebody shared a document with me. I have been long since taken off of the share list (I think the person may have even deleted the document), but no matter what I do, I can't get rid of the document in my documents list. I've tried deleting it, I've tried moving it to other folders, I've tried editing settings, I've tried being re-added to the access list and then deleting it, nothing.

If I click on the document, it vanishes from the list...right up until I refresh my Drive page, and then it shows up again.

Clearing my cache doesn't cut it, nor is this a problem of one computer (I get it on my home computer and my work computer, in different browsers, &c.).

I almost feel it's Google's cache that needs refreshing...
