I'm looking for a way to remove any trace of old coredumps in coredumpctl list. At the moment it lists coredumps beginning at 2014-12-14 - I've updated software so often between then and now that I doubt those old coredumps are going to help me debug any problems now. Unfortunately removing the files from /var/lib/systemd/coredump only made the asterisk in the "PRESENT" column of coredumpctls output disappear.
I couldn't find any way to remove all information about coredumps in the manpages or in the help output of coredumpctl.

It seems the metadata is kept in the systemd journal, so it is gone after
rm /var/log/journal/*/*
killall -9 systemd-journald
The downside is that all other syslog is gone as well.
Maybe the cleaner method would be the one given in How to clear journalctl
journalctl --vacuum-time=2d

First you may prune the journal discarding entries older than a day:
journalctl --vacuum-time=1d
Since "coredumpctl list" lists the dumpfiles recorded by the journal, you may manually delete the dump files from /var/lib/systemd/coredump that are not listed.
coredumpctl list
Browse the dump files, compare the files with the results from the command and delete the files not listed.
