Start with Clear Selected Items. Or, maybe Clear All Items. Choose everything you can by checking the check boxes. Whatever is left over (probably just text) can easily be done after that.

Thank you for the advice.
Is it possible to clear all at once without to do what you counseled me to do?

Without seeing an actual file, I couldn't say. Do you have a sample we could test?

In Windows Finale you can press CTL+A to select everything and then hit the backspace key. That will erase all entries. If that's not what you want to do just use the "undo" command or close the file without saving it.
