Getting Rid of NetBIOS/Computer Names

Still being new to Linux/Samba, I have a question re: getting rid of user NetBIOS/Computer names that don't exist anymore.

How do you get rid of outdated NetBIOS/computer names that continue to show up in Network Neighborhood???  We have some that have been showing up for days after they were changed/deleted.

I'm I missing some setting in Samba, in the client setup, or is this the way an NetBIOS-based-network works???

Thanks in advance,
