That was the reason for my suggestion of removing all and then setting the LastSync timestamp. That should do the cleanup for you.

If you want to fiddle with the database, you can delete the records. There are entries in two tables that should be removed.

Another way would be to do this on the Pocket site. Deleting them there should delete from the device when you you sync. There might also be a status or other change you can make that would remove them. I haven't played enough to be sure.
