I do a lot of work on Commons, while using a setting that all pages I edit go to my watchlist. In the past I was able to control the size of my watchlist by occasionally purging it by editing raw watchlist. However when Cat-a-lot gadget become available I initially did not configure it properly and all files I edit with it also ended up on my watchlist. Pretty soon my watchlist become too big to edit. I am now at 36k pages and I definitely need to purge it.
What can be done about it? I asked few people and asked on some talk forums but nobody knew the answer. I would be OK with deleting everything.
This came up on en.wp recently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BN#Can_a_bureaucrat_delete_a_user.27s_watchlist.3F. A bugzilla request was filed to have the watchlist deleted.
