There's no command to do specifically this in BIND, but you could
do it with nsupdate, for example.  Say you wanted to delete A records
for www.foo.example:

$ nsupdate
> update delete www.foo.example. A
> send

And then you wanted to delete PTR records for 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa:

> update delete 1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. A
> send

This assumes, of course, that your name servers permit you to
update the foo.example and 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa zones from
wherever you run nsupdate.
