Script to remove all inactive widgets?

Question

I've been working with widgets a lot lately and have amassed a ton of widgets in the inactive widgets collection.

Can someone share a script or plugin that will remove all inactive widgets from the site?

something like:

$widgets = get_option('sidebars_widgets');
$widgets['wp_inactive_widgets'] = array();
update_option('sidebars_widgets', $widgets);

	@OTP: Works great. What if I want to remove ALL widgets? – Scott B Mar 30 '11 at 18:02
	then the second line should be `$widgets = array();` or just use `update_option('sidebars_widgets', array());` – One Trick Pony Mar 30 '11 at 18:05
