By CLI confirmed that such FortiAPs entries do not exist, so cannot be deleted by CLI:

 

FW_ASA_FC_02 (wtp) # edit "FP433FTF23\\9855"
new entry 'FP433FTF23\9855' added
Invalid wtp-id: FP433FTF23\9855
Command fail. Return code -651

 

The solution is to reboot the FortiGate to delete the unknown FortiAP entries.
