Deleting a layer, including its objects and objects within blocks

[benjamin]

Is there any way of scripting this?

Often imports from other software create needlessly complex layer structures - this would help a lot, without forcing the user to explode all blocks.

yes.
(is this a wish / feature request ? - name it like this).

I fear, the blocks might get a bit tricky to modify…
(also if there are nested blocks)
