You could call lo_unlink() in a query.  Example:

SELECT lo_unlink(loid) FROM (SELECT DISTINCT loid FROM foo) AS s;

See also contrib/vacuumlo, which will automatically remove large
objects that aren't referenced anywhere.

"s" is a table alias, which is required for a subquery.  The choice
of "s" is arbitrary; it can be any valid label.
