Our "zpool labelclear" implementation destroys everything (literally).
Have you really tried it?

"zpool labelclear" won't help in this case, because you have
literally no
devices with active labels.  The problem is that the pool is still in your
/boot/zfs/zpool.cache file.  I think that plain "zpool destroy esx"
will
work in this case.

I have never needed it, so I have never used it.
