I do a lot of work on Commons, while using a setting that all pages I edit go

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.
