Yes it exists, but not in the source code nor in the way you ask.  The same 
mechanism you use to add, you would use to delete by skipping the addition 
of the record you do not want into the new CDB from the current CDB file.

i.e. this is a read current.CDB write current.CDB.tmp skipping the entries 
from current.CDB that you do not want.  When the mechanism you use is 
complete current.CDB.tmp will be renamed to current.CDB.
