My suggestion is to do this using code. IF your using D7, try following code in any custom module or in a basic page.
//Use a query to get all nodes of your particular content type.
$results = db_query("SELECT nid FROM node WHERE type = 'your-content-type'");
$nids = array();
foreach($results as $result){
$nids[] = $result->nid;
}
foreach($nids as $nid){ // use for loop for testing
$node = node_load($nid);
foreach ($node->field_international_activity[LANGUAGE_NONE] as $key => $value) {
// Build array of field collection values.
$field_collection_item_values[] = $value['value'];
// Unset them.
unset($node->field_international_activity[LANGUAGE_NONE][$key]);
}
// Delete field collection items.
entity_delete_multiple('field_collection_item', $field_collection_item_values);
node_save($node);
}

This code is not tested, first just try for a single node by using a for loop instead of foreach.
