I don’t think anything would wipe them out short of making a new account which of course doesn’t really wipe them out it just doesn’t associate them with the new account from the old.
The original books were a mixture of Kobo purchased ones, library loaned ones and side-loaded ones (via calibre). I wiped them all via the reset possibilities as found on the mobileread wiki and restarted with a new (mine) account. Everything was cleaned, except for the collections, which was odd (I thought).

When done manually on the device itself, I could agree. I myself however, use calibre for creating collections. So when the above suggestion is correct, Kobo should then have offered a possibility to delete those collections by user request, but apparently it cannot.
