Georg, normally people shut down Neo4j and delete the db directory in order to get rid of the entire db. However, I see your point in having a fast way to bulk delete the _content_ of the db.
It's not totally simple to do that nicely, so Johan just wrote a note to look at this after Neo4j 1.1. It will probably be a helper doing this, but it needs closer examination. Would that be ok for you?
