SQL to delete an entire store?

Sounds scary.

We should probably cook up an interface for doing bulk deletes/re
replicates/checks via the tracker, somewhat safely.

Yes, on some level I believe it would work if you selected the fids into
file_to_delete. It could still take a while, but you could also add a
few extra delete jobs.

I'd be paranoid enough to stop the trackers while doing the bulk load
into file_to_delete... Not sure offhand if doing a delete through a
tracker ensures you're not doing anything awful if a fid is locked by
another process.
