Is there a way to delete all cells at once in jupyter?

Question

I everyday try out my solutions before answering a pandas question in stack overflow . Usually after two to three days the jupyter notebook I use will be with n number of cells. Is there a way to delete all cells at once other than creating new notebook by deleting current one?

D D deletes one cell at a time.

You can delete all Jupyter notebook's cells at once as follows:

Select all cells : ESC + SHIFT + DOWN (starting from the top)
Then click ESC + D D (D twice)

@pyd click `z` in the keyboard – Khalil Al Hooti Nov 21 '18 at 14:13
Still would be nice if Jupyter had a command to select all (Shift + down arrow is more of a "scrolling" solution). But this works. – flow2k Sep 08 '20 at 21:53

To select all, indeed scrolling down with the down arrow takes a long time because everything is displayed. This is faster: select (click) the first cell, then scroll down with the window scrolling bar and `SHIFT` select the last cell. (JNB version 6.1.4.) – Pierre ALBARÈDE Dec 15 '20 at 09:16

Hit esc to exit edit mode
Click to select the topmost cell you want to delete. in jupyterlab, a blue vertical line appears to the cell's left.
Hit end to scroll to the bottom of the notebook
Shift-click the last cell (similar to step 2) to select the range of cells to delete.
Hit d, d to delete all the selected cells.

Hope that helps.
