Geometry nodes - addtional "remove all attributes"

I really like the additional "pattern mode" - but it forces GN users to name attributes something like "my...." so you can remove all attributes at the end with just one node. Since all used attributes are shown in the geometry nodes modifier anyway, it shouldn't be too hard for the developers to add an "all" attribute to exact and pattern mode so that all stored GN attributes are deleted.

The wildcard * is interpreted as "all":

Though, maybe the tooltip could be changed to better hint at this. Any idea of better phrasing that remains about the same length?

Also, the manual page literally says the node has no properties even though the pattern mode menu exists since Blender v4.2 .

I would gladly contribute code myself to enhance all that! But I'd appreciate suggestions on how to make this all better.

I also saw that, but you got this warning sign, because GN "tried" to delete also default attributes like "position" but didn't do it and you got the warning.

Sure, but it doesn't prevent you from using it succesfully.

Can you delete all except certain named attributes you want to keep?
