Attributes from Old Workbench

I created a workbench previously that read in Garmin waypoint information stored in an AutoCAD DXF file and converted into my GIS with a SQL Server DB. This was before FME had a reader for the Garmin GDB file format. I made a copy of that workbench and modified it to read the GDB file instead of the AutoCAD DXF. Toward the end of the translation sequence I have an AttributeRemover to remove unused attributes, but I noticed that somehow the workbench still has some default AutoCAD attributes floating in there. When I see the list of attributes I can remove, I see about 20 or so AutoCAD related attributes.

My question is this: Is there a way to flush or reset the workbench so that it only contains attributes related to the current readers, writers, creaters, etc. or do I need to create the work bench from scratch in order to eliminate all these AutoCAD attributes?
