In the Cell menu, "Delete All Output" will get rid of all of the output, print, and message cells, which goes a long way toward what you want. Of course, there may be latent kernel state which you'll need to flush. And the only absolutely sure way of doing that is to quit the kernel. Evaluation->Quit Kernel->Local will do it, or you can just evaluate Quit in a new cell. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
