Well what do ya know? Autodesk subscription center actually got back to me.
 
FYI:
 

There is not a command to just delete all the broken constraints but there is a better way to do it than 1 at a time using the design doctor.

1.     At the top of the model browser click on the assembly view drop down and change it to Modeling View.

2.     This will place all the constraints in a single Constraints folder at the top.

3.     Open this folder up.

4.     Using Shift and Control clicks select all the broken constraints.

5.     Right click on a selected constraint and select Delete.

Hello!
 
Say you have an assembly with 40-50-1000 screws in it.
Your boss comes by and says, "change all those screws from 1/4" length to 3/8" length".
So you think, alright, all I have to do is use 'replace component, all' command.
Bang, all your time consuming constraints you placed are gone. Your assembly now swims in non-constrained space with every drag. Not good.
So then comes 'design docter', that little red cross at the top. But the problem being, I must select on each one, every time, and work through them one by one, deleting everything because I cant modify them in the view given.
As you all know, this is extremely time consuming.
 
What are my alternatives, if any?
 
FYI- I am also awaiting what autodesk subscription center says in '4 hours' lol. I will let you all know what they thought too.
