Why do you have to get rid of them? If you submit a job in this fashion:
declare
l_job number;
begin
dbms_job.submit( l_job, 'some_procedure_to_run_once;' );
commit;
end;
That will submit a job that runs once and will remove itself from the queue after it successfully completes (since NEXT_DATE wasn't set). That sounds like it is exactly what you want.
