All Entities - for *all* apps, are actully stored in one bigtable "table".
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/storage_breakdown.html ... so to delete a Kinds, really means there is nothing for it but to delete then one by one. An index, maintains a list of entities, of a given Kind. So that index must be traversed to find all the right entities to delete. So even if Google did provide a delete Kind command, it would still use same batch process, and cost the same (or nearly the same) in actual CPU time.
