Delete/Reset all entries in Core Data?

Question

Do you know of any way to delete all of the entries stored in Core Data? My schema should stay the same; I just want to reset it to blank.

You can delete the SQLite file - but I choose to do it by purging the tables individually with a functions:

- (void) deleteAllObjects: (NSString *) entityDescription  {
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
    NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:entityDescription inManagedObjectContext:_managedObjectContext];
    [fetchRequest setEntity:entity];

    NSError *error;
    NSArray *items = [_managedObjectContext executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
    [fetchRequest release];


    for (NSManagedObject *managedObject in items) {
        [_managedObjectContext deleteObject:managedObject];
        DLog(@"%@ object deleted",entityDescription);
    }
    if (![_managedObjectContext save:&error]) {
        DLog(@"Error deleting %@ - error:%@",entityDescription,error);
    }

}

The reason I chose to do it table by table is that it makes me confirm as I am doing the programming that deleting the contents of the table is sensible and there is not data that I would rather keep.

Doing it this will is much slower than just deleting the file and I will change to a file delete if I this method takes too long.
