You might try:

Clear["@"]

To clear all lowercase, user-defined variables.

or

Clear["Global`*"]

To clear all user-defined variables.

Obviously, this won't work if you define your variabes somewhere other than
the Global context.  I also rarely use it -- I had to look it up.  It was a
trick mentioned in Marvin L. DeJong's "Mathematica for Calculus-Based
Physics."

It does seem to do the trick.
