TRUNCATE TABLE doesn't reset auto_increment value for InnoDB tables.

Or, if you no longer need any of the data, simply use TRUNCATE.

If you want to start auto_increment sequence with value bigger than current counter 
value, you can just add dummy row and specify explicitly column value equal to 
needed_value-1. Then delete this row.
Otherwise you should recreate the table.
