[Blender] How do I remove 2000 materials from my object?

arnov

I was working on a tree, made 1 leaf, put material on it and duplicated it at least 2000 times. Once I was done with the tree I realized that my object has 2000 materials. Any ideas how to fix this without spamming "-"?

Threre's a script that does exactly what I need. Thanks, @TheGabmeister .

There's also the (paid) addon 'Batch Ops' that makes it easier to do this. The new version looks really good, and given that Blender is inconsistent in where actions work on multiple objects (while holding ALT), it's a real lifesaver in situations like this.
