Is there a way to clear out all nodes from a jsTree that's faster than walking through all the nodes deleting them one-by-one?

The simplest way I have found is to simply call .empty on the div containing the tree.

$('#tree').empty();

You might choose to use a more specific selector as a parameter for empty(), but this works fine for me.
