Write a bugzilla report and it may be added (unless there is already something there I don't know about). Try to think through exactly how you would want this to work. I would assume it would be some query that exposed the instance number in the DB, and then you would pick the right one, and erase it by instance number. Course, while your at it you might consider a feature that allows you to do an erase and specify the prefix that was used?
