First of all make a backup of your database then run this query:

DELETE FROM post WHERE parentid !=0;

If you use a custom prefix append it to the table name in the query above. Then as last step you might want to rebuild the threads, posts and the stats at the Maintenance->General Update Tools section in your Acp. Hope it helps.
