Not that I know of, but icbw.  Can't recall timing of when system-managed
receivers are deleted, off-hand.

One way is to CrtJrnRcv (or is it on CrtJrn, I'm thinking) ??SysMng(*NO) and
delete them "by hand".  It'd be easy enough to write utility (similar to
purging history files) to do this, and'd be surprised if there wasn't a
TAATOOL, QUSRTOOL (or similar) to do this.

I find the most important use of journals is doing an "autopsy" on an
application that's cratered.  Dumps (flight-recorders, etc.) not always
being available if an app works, but works incorrectly.  Especially if
symptom shows weeks or months after the fact...  There are many other good
reasons for keeping journals of course, but ime (in my experience) this is
where I use them the most.  Ymmv.
