Can't clear variables with subscripts

Question

ClearAll["Global`*"]

doesn't clear subscripted variables. It won't clear these variables for example.

Subscript[x, D] = {{0.97, 0.95, 0.93, 0.94, 0.96}}
Subscript[x, B] = {{0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.06, 0.04}}

Please don't use subscripts until you're really proficient in Mathematica. See http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/18395/193 — Dr. belisarius, Feb 10 '16 at 03:12

Subscript[x, D], etc., are expressions, not variables. Your definitions are stored as down-values of the symbol Subscript. You need to use

ClearAll[Subscript]
