Theres a pruneMemberDataContents() method on MemberDataTool, but it is 
private. This means that you cannot call it with TTW scripts (python scripts, 
dtml-method, dtml-document, zpt....). But using an External Method should 
enable you to call this method. So, lets go to the recipe:

* Create a file named pruneMemberData.py on the 'Extensions' dir of your Zope 
instance.

* On this file, create a method with these contents:

"""
Method to call pruneMemberData via ZMI.
"""
from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
def pruneMemberData(self):
  mdtool = getToolByName(self, 'portal_memberdata')
  try:
    mdtool.pruneMemberDataContents()
    return '* MemberData for non-existent users on acl_users removed."
  except:
    return '* ERROR: MemberData was not removed."

* Now, go to the ZMI and add an External Method on your CMF Site with this 
configuration:
 
  id: pruneMemberData
  title: 
  module: pruneMemberData
  function: pruneMemberData

* Click save, open the newly added External Method and click the "Test" tab.

* Voila! You are done.

Hope this works, as I havent tested.
