ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.

i have been using
echo "4008192" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo 4008192 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
to increase the limits to avoid this dropping of packets.
can i just clear the list from
/proc/net/ip_conntrack
or something

some info
ip_conntrack_ftp       70576  0
ip_conntrack_irc       70064  0
ip_conntrack           24968  4
