I was able to get the following code to work.

import arcpy  
arcpy.env.workspace = r"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"  
for objFeatureClass in arcpy.ListFeatureClasses():  
    arcpy.Delete_management(objFeatureClass)
for objTables in arcpy.ListTables():  
    arcpy.Delete_management(objTables)
print "Process Complete"

If there will be nothing left, just delete the gdb. then recreate it with the same name.

Or is there something else that needs to be maintained?
