There has got to be a better way right? At the beginning of a session, load the package Utilities`CleanSlate`. Then later when you want to reset things to the state that existed when the CleanSlate package was loaded simply do CleanSlate[] I have this package loaded at the start of every session by including <<Utilities`CleanSlate` in my init.m file. Also, you can load this package later in your session if you like. Then computations done before the CleanSlate package was loaded are preserved. Only things done after the CleanSlate package is loaded are reset.
