Why do some Combat anomaly sites not despawn after being cleared?

I clear Hi-sec combat anomaly sites whenever they show up on the probe scanner, but I often warp into one and find no rats... I'm assuming it's already been cleared... but why does it still show up on my scanner? Usually when I clear a site, it disappears as an anomaly within a minute or so. Of ten times, I've noticed the same "cleared" anomaly showing on my scanner for 2+ hours.

Is this just a bug, or is there some reason for this?

I presume there is a difference between what you consider cleared and what CCP considers cleared.

Probably something left alive/in tact to keep the site from despawning.

OK, but I feel like I've already tested this... I have blown up all structures (that can be blown up) at these sites, and they still remain there...

Sooooo I'm guessing it's just a bug.

Never noticed this with anomalies... when ever i warp into one where all rats are dead it has despawned within seconds.
are you sure you are not taking "hidden belts" as anomalies? those are only finished when the last roid has been mined

Nope, Im 100% sure. It clearly says combat anomaly on my probe scanner. This has happened countless times to me in multiple systems.

Are you sure there wasn't a structure left that causes another spawn?

Some are bugged.
Same happens to some signatures, like the "Angel Outpost" unrated complex. If you ask CCP you just get "we know of it" or "Working on it"
