Dynatree does not reload with new nodes programatically

I am loading the dynatree programitically when the page loads as follows

function loadTree(data)
{
   var rootNode = $("#tree").dynatree("getRoot");
   $.each(data, function () {
      var childNode = rootNode.addChild({
               title: this.agent_code + ' - ' + this.holder_name,
               tooltip: this.holder_name,
               isFolder: true,
               key:this.agent_code,
       });
    });
 }

Now after i retrieve new data from the server and wants to load with new nodes it does not remove the old node.

function reload(data)
   {
        $("#tree").dynatree("getRoot").visit(function(node){
           node.remove();
        });
        loadTree(data)
   }

The above code removes only a single node. What am i missing here. Thanks in advance

UPDATE i tried with a workaround through the following code

function reload(data)
   {
        $("#tree").remove();
        $('#test').html('<div id="tree"></div>');
        $('#tree').dynatree(); //reinitialize the tree
        loadTree(data);
   }

It does reload but then cannot populate the child nodes through lazyloading

Finally I have it working. I changed the code with this line

 function reload(data)
   {
             //get all the available parent nodes
             var n = [];
             $("#tree").dynatree("getRoot").visit(function(node){
                n.push(node.data.key);
              });
              //delete each node one by one
              var tree = $("#tree").dynatree("getTree");
              $.each(n,function(index,value){
                var Cnode =  tree.getNodeByKey(value);
                if(Cnode != null) Cnode.remove();
              });
              loadTree(data);
   }

Am pretty sure this isn't the best of solution. So if anyone has better way of doing it, please post another answer.

This will remove all the nodes that you have added during the initial load:

$("#tree").dynatree("getRoot").removeChildren();
