Sure, this can be done in the rails console within the container.

```plaintext
rails c

# restrict to secondary emails, just in case you try to delete the wrong email
UserEmail.where(email: "foo@example.com", primary: false).destroy_all

# probably not needed, but better safe than sorry
EmailToken.where(email: "foo@example.com").destroy_all

```
