mass delete?

For a variety of reasons I have a large number of duplicates and would like to just delete everything and start all over again. How would I go about doing this?

What I'd suggest for targeting the duplicates is to search for them based on the added date. You should be able to search for addedBefore:tomorrow (which seems silly but will return all tasks :) and sort by name; then you can examine each of the duplicates. (The added date will appear in the task details box.) For example, you may find an old task added a while ago and a duplicate added a few days ago.
Typically you'll have one copy of each duplicated task that has a very recent date, i.e. the date the tasks were duplicated. If you can get the specific date when all duplicates were added, you should be able to use one of the 'added:' operators to find them all to delete them, e.g. addedAfter:yesterday if they were all duplicated then.
Hope this helps!
