Not through the UI.  You would have to delve into the data file itself.
They are stored in the Account KVP.

Unfortunately again there is no way to reset this in the UI.  You'll
need to backup your data file and then manually prune.

A patch to add a GUI to manipulate the token db would be appreciated!
