How to delete all notifications?

After migration from Stack Exchange 1, I now have 4588 unread notifications (minor bug in the migration process I guess).

How can I delete them or mark them as read?

When I do it through the normal site interface, all the notifications that are currently seen (~ 20-30) are deleted.

Try this in the django shell (stared by python manage.py shell):

from askbot.models import Activity
from askbot import const

activity_types = (
    const.RESPONSE_ACTIVITY_TYPES_FOR_DISPLAY,
    const.TYPE_ACTIVITY_MENTION,
    const.TYPE_ACTIVITY_MARK_OFFENSIVE,
)
Activity.objects.filter(activity_type__in=activity_types).delete()

If there is something else left, we may have to add more activity types to the lookup list.

This cleaned up all my notifications, but not the count - I still see a red envelope and get a message "you have 4486 new responses". Could you update the snippet to reset this number? (preferably, just reset it to the actual number of responses and not just to zero).
