[development] [support] mass removal of content types

[Brian Vuyk]

If I had to do this, I would use the devel module's PHP evaluation.

Install devel, go to http://www.yoursite.com/devel/php and enter the 
following code snippet:

// Begin code snippet
$results = db_query("SELECT nid FROM {node} WHERE type='product' LIMIT 
200");

while ($r = db_fetch_object($results)) {
   node_delete($r->nid);
}
// end code snippet

This will delete 200 nodes each pass. Of course, adjust 'product' to the 
machine name of the content type you want to delete.
