AFAIK not at this moment. Note, that you delete also all records,
which relate with installed plugins.
This has a nasty hole.
If some uninstalled plugins have records, those records are not deleted.
When you check database integrity you information about records without
related pages.
That is as such ok - because Typo3 can't know without any information, 
which tables belongs to Typo3.
List of installed extensions gives that information.

All Typo3 records starts with fields 'uid' and 'pid'
  - but also non-typo-tables can use that system.

database can contain also non-typo tables and Typo3 can't automatic 
delete data if it found such 'pid' value, which are in the list of 
pages, which should be deleted.


I wrote this just that you would be aware of this problem.
