We ran into this a lot.  What we finally did is to change all of our
switches to  transparent mode (so basically disabled VTP).  You'd
still have to go and manually delete all the unused VLANs after you make
the change.  It may not work for you if you like the automation provided
by VTP, but we prefer to just manually create the vlans we need on our
switches.
