Well, this is getting VERY annoying...

This is especially annoying when they are your ally - you them must either allow them to stay or declare war on them and attack that colony.

Just put a warships in orbit, and gift it to one of their enemies. Then go and destroy/recapture the ship when its done.

Well, that's an interesting trick. I wonder what the chances are that the ship will attack the colony vs. run off and do some other crazy thing that pops into the AIs flighty 'mind'.

Another option is to use intelligence projects to wipe out the colony. You can use intelligence operations against your allies. It will cost you a little bit of 'good will' if they notice who is doing it, but as long as you don't have to remove dozens of colonies this should not be a problem. And lots of low-level 'sabotage' projects can do enough damage to completely destroy a new, small colony.
