If the "dependents" did not show up on the Form 1040 there will be no tax consequence to leaving them in the step by step.  However, if you wish to clear them out you should go to:

  1. PERSONAL INFO
  2. [Continue]
  3. Select the dependent and choose [EDIT]
  4. Now select [Delete]
  5. and confirm

That will successfully clear that dependent.
