Using "dG" in vim.
= Such a beautiful command. So elegant, just three keystrokes, and waiting for when ever you may need it. Otherwise, you would never be aware of it.
There are few applications, where you can erase all text, with so little effort. True, it isn't for casual use. However, when you need it. Just works.
= Now, yes, any Windows app you Select All, and Cut. or Ctrl-A, Del; if supported? However, GUI apps often don't "truly erase everything," and MS Word does not prefer handling pure ASCII text. Plus, you usually have to check what if? Did it get it all? vim just does it, end of story.
vim and XEmacs are free for Windows & Linux, anyhow. Why bother?

PS. Yes, you have to be at the start of the file. After you learn vim, it makes perfect sense.
