Can I delete all data from a KV store at once?

How can I reinitialise my KV store or collection which already has data in it?

My use case is that I am mocking up a new app, but have decided to add and change certain fields into my already-existent KV store.

I've seen this example from the REST API guide and have used it successfully:

curl -k -u admin:changeme -X DELETE \
    https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/nobody/kvstoretest/storage/collections/data/kvstorecoll

but i'm just wondering if it's possible to do it all in one go via the UI or a simple, quoted REST URI.

How are the answers below different than just doing:
