Magento programmatically remove product images

This must be a such a simple programming task that I absolutely cannot find any information about it on the net. Basically, I’m trying to DELETE product images. I want to delete all images from a product’s media gallery. Can I do this without wading through a million lines of code for such a simple task?

Please note that I’ve already tried this:

$attributes = $product->getTypeInstance()->getSetAttributes();
if (isset($attributes['media_gallery'])) {
    $gallery = $attributes['media_gallery'];
    $galleryData = $product->getMediaGallery();//this returns NULL

    foreach($galleryData['images'] as $image){
        if ($gallery->getBackend()->getImage($product, $image['file'])) {
            $gallery->getBackend()->removeImage($product, $image['file']);
        }
    }
}

This absolutely does not work. I’m trying to delete images during an import so that I do not keep accruing duplicates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
