"Check-Polygons" from the settings menu hides everything except polygons.
So you can easily select and delete them all.
BTW, I habitually put polygons in a separate layer. With larger layout or
less than premium hardware, polygon calculation tends to affect pcb
performance. While there is no straight GUI option to not update
polygons, the separate layers allows for a work around: They can be put
in a layer group of their own (File -> Preferences -> Layers -> Groups).
Once the work on tracks and footprints is done, I reunite polygon layers
with the copper layer they belong to. There is no designated button to
recalculate-polygons. But a "save" followed by a "revert" will do the
trick.

Still unhappy with moderation of geda-user.
Why? Because it is completely intransparent.
