I would recommend against doing that. That will wipe out all connections. All connections does indeed pick up all the mobile network connections (APN details etc.) but it will also pick up local network connections (such as WiFi or in my case ethernet too) and potentially other connections.

So I would suggest at least using rm -i to review each deletion, or find another way to be selective about the deletion.
