Clear Blender materials slots

Question

I have a scene where a large number of redundant cycles materials have accumulated. I'd like to have them removed so that there's nothing left remaining in the materials slots at all. enter image description here

I've tried all the methods I could find of deleting them so that they don't show up in the slots like this but none have worked so far.

That is selecting all objects w an active object as well and 'copy material to others', saving, closing re-opening, no luck. And the Ctrl L method as well.

Thanks in advance

I enabled the script, but how do I use it? What hotkey do I use to start it? I'm using Cycles. – Thom Blair III Apr 27 '14 at 23:10
