If you're savvy with mysql, you could clear it using
that.
I'm not so I use phpmyadmin to administer mysql via a
web browser. Simple matter to open the job table and
remove it there.

Webmin also has a handy MySQL interface that I use for this kind of stuff. It also lets you do a lot of other handy system admin stuff via an SSL web interface.
