   This is a good starting point, but wouldn’t it remove not just the sub-webs but the root web as well?

   Hey Grant,

   This will not actually remove the rootweb, it will actually give you a warning/error. For a situation where you want to quickly cleanup all of the subwebs leaving the rootweb intact, it works great!
