The example Kirk provided is not the best option, there's a method "removeAll" that you can pass the SplObjectStore itself, and as the name says, remove all stored objects.
SplObjectStorage::removeAllExcept
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.6, PHP 7)
SplObjectStorage::removeAllExcept — Removes all objects except for those contained in another storage from the current storage
Description
Removes all objects except for those contained in another storage from the current storage.
Parameters
-
storage -
The storage containing the elements to retain in the current storage.
Return Values
No value is returned.
Examples
Example #1 SplObjectStorage::removeAllExcept() example
<?php
$a = (object) 'a';
$b = (object) 'b';
$c = (object) 'c';
$foo = new SplObjectStorage;
$foo->attach($a);
$foo->attach($b);
$bar = new SplObjectStorage;
$bar->attach($b);
$bar->attach($c);
$foo->removeAllExcept($bar);
var_dump($foo->contains($a));
var_dump($foo->contains($b));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
bool(false) bool(true)

You may remove all elements by passing empty SplObjectStorage
$splStorage->removeAllExcept(new SplObjectStorage());
