Removing zombie rule groups metrics

[Peter S]

Hi,

After we remove some rule groups, their metrics still show up, like 

prometheus_rule_group_last_duration_seconds

(exported by prometheus server's built-in exporter at the metrics endpoint)

They won't vanish until we restart the prometheus processes (managed by systemd).

I wonder if there is way to clean up these zombie rule groups metrics without having to restart the prometheus server. 

Thanks,

Peter
