there is no way to get rid of the tuo files with texutil. With the
optional argument, you can *limit* the cleansing. That means, reduce
the number of files being erased.
For example, let's say you have a file called "finland.tex" and
"snow.tex" together with all the messy context help files. Now you
want to get rid of all the "snow" stuff but keep all the files for
"finland.tex" If the texutil command would work how it should [1]
then saying
texutil --purge snow
would delete the
snow-mpgraph.mp, snow.tui, snow.log etc.
but leave all "finland" files in the directory.

[1] the pattern in texutil for removing files is not useable on
unix. I had good experience with
{ $pattern .= "*.*" }
line 2685. It is now
{ $pattern .= "-.*" }
but this will probably not match any files around. (Perhaps there are
some obscure files that I don't know of.) Hans, could you change this
in texutil?
