Store a timestamp with the token that you send to have your user validate their email address. If the user validates their email address after the expiry indicated by the timestamp... well do whatever you want with that, and delete the associated token from the database. Routinely remove expired tokens from database through some functionality, most likely a cron job or a manual task that an administrator can run once in a while.
