Answer: Once the picklist has been used you can not remove the value from the picklist dropdown - The behavior you observed is actually the current design. There is already a feature enhancement request in our community about it and the status of it is "Under Consideration".
Workaround: You can click the Edit button in the custom field detail page, click the value you want to edit and then click on the pencil sign to edit the value.
