At one point I performed a new Fedora install and restored my personal
files before disabling SELinux which I don't need.

As a result many files have permissions which include a dot at the end,
e.g.:

-rw-rw-r--.

This causes havoc with many applications, i.e. gedit complains it cannot
make a back-up file.

Q: How can I EASILY remove all SELinux attributes, e.g. perhaps with a
single command?

If SELinux is disabled, then you should be able to do this:
find / -exec setfattr -x security.selinux {} \;

You might want to further qualify the find statement to avoid noise on
filesystems that don't support security contexts, e.g.

find / \( -fstype ext2 -o -fstype ext3 -o -fstype ext4 -o -fstype btrfs \) -exec setfattr -x security.selinux {} \;


This works perfectly - thanks!
