If you can't find a role for the employee, and they're clearly unhappy and unmotivated, then I think the most amicable solution is to let them go, but with a good letter of reference, and if possible try to use your own personal contacts to get them good work, and maybe provide them some kind of transition period where they can continue their old job while looking for new work. While this does nothing directly good for your company, the fact that you put in some effort to help the person will make the other employees happier.
If your company is big enough, however, it should always be possible to shift them to another, more suitable, part of the company. Most large companies always have "holes" opening up periodically(it's one of the biggest reasons HR exists).
