In Mathematica 3.0 and 4, there is a package, Utilities`CleanSlate`,
which accomplishes what you're describing.  You can find the package
in 

ToFileName[{$TopDirectory, "AddOns", "ExtraPackages", "Utilities"}]

The documentation for the package is contained within the comments
in the .m file.  N.B. the warning in the header of the package.


(* :Warning:
     CleanSlate might be considered a "dangerous" function, given what
     it tries to do. Although it is well-tested, use it at your own
     risk.
