Perch shop members not being deleted after testing

I have a shop that's now live and we initially did some tests using our own email addresses. I then deleted all the orders and memebers / customers so that once it was all working we were good to go with a clean slate.

I've just tried to do some more testing and it looks like they actually still exist. It allows me to sign up again, but once I login its actually got the original address stored and all my previous orders. Is there a way I can flush the shop tables out and ensure it's all gone?

We don't actually delete anything in Shop, just mark it as deleted. If we deleted customers or products, order history (and therefore tax reporting etc) would be invalidated. That would obviously be very bad.
