Thanks to @blake we now have rake tasks for cleanup of various sorts .

lib/tasks/destroy.rake

main

# frozen_string_literal: true

## These tasks are destructive and are for clearing out all the
#   content and users from your site.
desc "Remove all topics in a category"
task "destroy:topics", %i[category parent_category] => :environment do |t, args|
  category = args[:category]
  parent_category = args[:parent_category]
  descriptive_slug = parent_category ? "#{parent_category}/#{category}" : category
  puts "Going to delete all topics in the #{descriptive_slug} category"
  DestroyTask.new.destroy_topics(category, parent_category)
end

desc "Remove all topics in all categories"
task "destroy:topics_all_categories" => :environment do
  puts "Going to delete all topics in all categories..."
  DestroyTask.new.destroy_topics_all_categories
end

desc "Remove all private messages"
