@Lubenz007 , please go through this similar ask answered by me. Here are the commands to delete those ghosted nics, 

Get-AzNetworkInterface | where-object { $_.VirtualMachine -eq $null } | ft name  
Get-AzNetworkInterface | where-object { $_.VirtualMachine -eq $null } | Remove-AzNetworkInterface -Force
