Just use a for..loop to delete all of the objects. Then after you have done that, load your level

Well, use a For...Next loop like DarkRider suggested, and have the maximum limit set to the maximum object number that there is in all the levels.

Then, in the For... Next loop, use an If Object Exists(objnum) test to make sure the object exists before trying to delete it.

That'll remove your entire level...

Hope I Helped...
Jess.
