Every CLLocation has a timestamp property that you can use to filter all location updates that are too old for your usage.

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
    NSTimeInterval age = [newLocation.timestamp timeIntervalSinceNow];
    if(age < SOME_CONSTANT_IN_SECONDS)
    {
        //Use location
    }
}

You can't clear the old location, but you can check the horizontalAccuracy to know if this is a good location (current) or something old and irrelevant.
