Yes.  Here's what I do:
 
1) tell listserv cms listf name-of-list * a
2) tell listserv sf name-of-list list
   (so I can check to see if it has an SFS area for its logs.
3) tell listserv cms erase name-of-list list a
   (repeat above for oldlist, stats, etc.)
4) erase the SFS area and associated log files.
