Moved publishing server, now client won't connect due to drafts

[tomviolin]

We recently moved our Contribute publishing server to another machine.
However, a client machine had unsaved drafts.

I can't create a new connection because an old connection still exists
to the same web site.

Contribute won't let me delete the old connection because there are
unpublished drafts. It says I have to "publish or cancel each draft of
this website before removing the connection."

But I can't cancel the drafts unless I can connect, which I can't
because the old connection doesn't work anymore.

Catch-22. How do I get out of this?

Thanks.

I worked around this issue by uninstalling and reinstalling Contribute
on the client machine. Ironically, during the uninstall, a message
came up to the effect of "Uninstalling Contribute will delete all
unpublished drafts. Continue?" to which I gleefully clicked "Yes".

Too bad there's no "Unconditional Purge Drafts" command somewhere.
