    thats is the easy way to restart the forum and blog :) i have tried several times

    but again check once for posts , threads which may be useful so take backup first

    Agreed, that's definitely the quickest method.

    Or...you could just prune all of the threads and posts and start fresh that way :)

    Talk with your host, it might be possible for them to flip a few switches and reset your account in a few seconds.

    Wipe everything?
    Go to cpanel to wipe subfolders and to ftp client on the others.
