Removing collections/shards/etc in SolrCloud/Zookeeper

Question

Is there a way to remove a single or even all collections and their various associated settings/shards/etc in Zookeeper/SolrCloud? I would like to start back with a fresh, clean SolrCloud, but I am not seeing any way to clean things up. I tried running zkcli.bat -zkhost localhost:<port> -cmd clear but that didn't seem to do anything.

You can use solrctl tool if you are working with CDH Solr.
