how do you remove "switchport" from a interface?

interface FastEthernet0/14
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10
switchport mode trunk
!
interface FastEthernet0/15
switchport trunk native vlan 10
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,2,10
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
!

I would like to remove all of this stuff from a interface, how do I purge it all minus flashing the switch? I've basically done what I need to do for a chapter, but I'd like to learn how ot turn this stuff off instead of flashing the config from the switch; is there even a way?

Yes. Here is the commands I use when I wipe switches at work:

#delete /f /r flash:vlan.dat (You may not have an option for the /f /r part depending on your switch)
#write erase
Now reboot the switch. Don't save if it prompts you to. That's it!

Edit: If you want to just remove those commands, just put no in front of them. I.E. #no switchport trunk
