[Zope] how to delete all entries in a FileStorage

[Chris McDonough]

"rm -rf Data.fs" typically does the trick. ;-)

Within Zope in Python code, however, you'd want to do something like
this (where self is an object that has an acquisition context that
allows you to call "getPhysicalRoot" on it to get the root Zope
object):

root = self.getPhysicalRoot()
for id in root.objectIds():
   try:
      root._delObject(id)
   except:
      print "Couldn't delete %s" % id
