Is there a simple way to delete ALL engine ID's without out having to do it one at a time? Maybe a "factory reset" feature that will delete all engine ID's?

The CAB2 doesn't hold any engine ID's, they're all in the command base!
You can use the LSU (Legacy System Utility) to erase them, that's probably the fastest way.

Isn't there a "clear all" option on the handheld?
I'd have to go down to the layout and find it but I believe it comes up on the engine info.
The fastest way is to push "CTC" and scroll to "System Settings" and push CLEAR. This will clear everything including switch info, accessory info, engines, etc. Done.
I've never used that before, but it is indeed there. Of course, how many times would you really want to do this??? 
If you do this at someone else's layout, you'll likely not be that popular!

That's why it asks you if you are sure and why should backup your database before having company over.
To clarify, John and others, yes I meant to say Cab 2 BASE, I know that the remote (handheld) does not store ID"s)
The reason this came up was at our club meeting in which someone wanted to run their TMCC/Legacy engine but someone else had set up the same ID with a different setting, this happens a lot when we run our home engines on the club layout.
So we thought, maybe we should do a "Clear All ID's" at the end of our session or maybe once every couple of months or so. Our layout is modular and travels to different venues, no permanent setup.
Will have to try MartyE suggestion.
Thanks to all the suggestions.

Just remember this is effectively clearing the database for the Legacy system. If you have switches and accessories in there that may not be the way to go if you want to retain those.
Marty, thanks for the reminder. Our modular layout does not have any accessories or switches that are remotely controlled. We do have a TPC to activate track power for either conventional or command. Those running in conventional mode like to use the Cab1 to adjust voltage rather than the MRC transformer handles.

I've personally never had the occasion to zero out the whole command base, it's not something that comes up a lot.

Probably most useful when selling it or wanting to restart.
Good point on selling, that would be a useful step. Maybe I'll sell one for $1000-1100 on eBay.
