NFT=/usr/bin/nft
FAMILIES="ip ip6 arp bridge"

for FAMILY in $FAMILIES; do
  TABLES=$($NFT list tables $FAMILY | grep "^table\s" | cut -d' ' -f2)
  
  for TABLE in $TABLES; do
    CHAINS=$($NFT list table $FAMILY $TABLE | grep "^\schain\s" | cut -d' ' -f2)

    for CHAIN in $CHAINS; do
      echo "Flushing chain: $FAMILY->$TABLE->$CHAIN"
      $NFT flush chain $FAMILY $TABLE $CHAIN
      $NFT delete chain $FAMILY $TABLE $CHAIN
    done

    echo "Flushing table: $FAMILY->$TABLE"
    $NFT flush table $FAMILY $TABLE
    $NFT delete table $FAMILY $TABLE
  done
done

For me it requires TABLES=... -f3 (not -f2)
Using Fedora 35

Also: nft flush ruleset

Should be -f3 as mentioned by @ohhai.

Edit: Better solution than listing families would be:

#!/bin/bash

nft list tables |
while read table; do
	nft delete $table
done
