How to reset Live? | Ableton
Side effect: you'll need to set up your midi preferences again.

It didn't work (even after preferences.cfg reset, the old ASIO devices are still displayed...)
BUT
it had, as side effect, the fact of having to rescan all VST devices

Yes, that too. EVERYTHING goes back to factory defaults.

Then that shan't be a Live specific problem.
Do those devices appear as well, when you chose the MME/DirectX driver type?

If you're running Windows, you can uninstall the drivers at the Add/Remove Programs screen in the Control Panel. Once you uninstall them there, they won't show up in Ableton anymore.
If you're on a Mac? /shrug

ASIO is a Windows-only model.
If you're running Windows, you can uninstall the drivers at the Add/Remove Programs screen in the Control Panel. Once you uninstall them there, they won't show up in Ableton anymore.
The caption on the screenshot claims, he's already uninstalled the drivers, but meybe the uninstallers haven't done a good job of it, or he hasn't even used them.
You are able to deactivate, uninstall (with a delete driver files option) from the Windows Device Manager. Not a good idea, becaus it only handles the Windows audio system, it's not aware of ASIO or the several control applications that are installed with the drivers and wouldn't handle a ton of registry entries.

The solution finally was to search the device name in regedit.exe (with F3) and delete all references to them.

Removing unneeded devices from Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASIO in Registry fixed this.
