Has happened to me before, and yes, is a PITA.

What I usually do is to manually remove the dependencies from the project, all of them, then let sbt re-import what is actually needed. Don't do it on the UI though, since even having multiple selection, will ask for confirmation for EVERY dependency! (you will be clicking "Yes, I'm sure" for an hour), instead, go and delete directly from the .iml project file on your .idea/modules directory.
