How do I remove a barred prosecution first degree misdemeanor from court record?

A little over 2 years ago I was arrested on a first degree misdemeanor. The statue of limitations has expired; no summons sent and tolling doesn’t apply. However the case is still being recorded as “open” in the county court records. How do I get the case dismissed and the charges removed?
