Down voted because this is not an answer to the OP explaining how to remove all funds from an account. This is just a venting rant.

Unfortunately, we have not yet figured out a way to do this. Removing an account completely would break our wallet security model.

@DavidSchwartz Can someone who has access to the secret key steal this minimum balance of 50 XRP?

Not today, but if in the future either the reserve drops or the network does adopt a way to close an account, then they could.
