Description

See repro steps. The phantom references can be fixed by recompiling the child BP and saving it. Note that just loading ChildBP2 does not fix/remove the reference during compile-on-load, so it's a bit more of an issue than just 'bounce the editor after deleting an interface'.

Steps to Reproduce

Create InterfaceX with a function and an event
Create ParentBP
Have ParentBP implement InterfaceX, overriding a func from X
Create ChildBP1 inheriting from ParentBP
Create ChildBP2 inheriting from ParentBP
In ChildBP1, override a func from X
In ChildBP2, override a func from X
Save everything and close the editor.

Open the editor again and open ChildBP1 and ParentBP (but leave ChildBP2 unloaded).

Remove X from ParentBP, saying Yes to "would you like to transfer the interface functions to be part of your Blueprint"

Open reference viewer for InterfaceX

Expected:
No references exist

Actual:
References from both ChildBP1 and ChildBP2 exist
