Thanks, generating of list file is a good idea!
I'll try with:
php $MW_INSTALL_PATH/maintenance/deleteBatch.php -u admin -r
smw_property_delete generated_list
and after that
php
$MW_INSTALL_PATH/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php
-p
php
$MW_INSTALL_PATH/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/maintenance/SMW_refreshData.php
You're right that it's a rarely performed task and it's better to not
allow users to perform it.
If someone else needs it, this way of mass deletion probably can be
placed somewhere
in docs on http://semantic-mediawiki.org
