Definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Use SQLite (or similar) to manipulate the database.

MAKE A COPY OF NAVDATA.DB3 DATABASE

Open Navdata.db3 in SQLite.

Execute "Delete From Aircraft" It's done..... there's no going back :-(

If you are getting started, with the data from the disk in the box.  There are a number of items you should look to update.  You may wish to read this forum thread.

We did request Airnav create a 'get you started' sticky document to explain what is available to update/add to the basic 2 year old data on the disk in the box.  They have so far not taken up that idea.

The Navdata that comes on the disk is very out of date.  You are strongly recommended that rather than blanking the one that comes on the disk, instead to download the latest replacement new issue here:
