Aside from atom smashing, I plan on "gifting" a metric dorftonne of this crapolla to the next dwarven merchant unfortunate enough to grace my fortress. Sure, they might take a couple of years to leave, but they will. Either by conventional means or otherwise.

I really need to break my depot-dismantling habit.

You don't have to dismantle it if you apply magma. It incinerates flesh leaving only the useful bones, and burns away all those wooden objects we don't need, leaving only the high value metal weapons that traders bring so often.

Buy the next dwarven caravan that comes along. The whole caravan.

But then the poor merchants will have to walk home!

They can walk home on the crutches you sell them.

Or they could construct a giant contraption that moves out of the crutches and become the DF version of an AT-AT!
All fear the Dwarven Merchants!

Goblins are attacking the caravan! FORM THE CRIPPLETRON!

I remember in one of my first Forts of the new version, I got pissed because none of my Dwarfs would trade with the elves, SO I deconstructed the depot.

This in time led to the Collapse of my Fort!

Taking stock, the one Elven Caravan had over 30 individual cages, 20 of which had bears, foxes, and other animals.  There were over 30 pages of wooden toys crafts and other junk,  I counted over 200 barrels full of various stuff, over 500 bins of ropereed cloth. There wasn't room for half the stuff, food began to rot and creata miasma clouds,  I worked my miners to exhaustion trying to make store rooms for everything, and used up all my wood making Bins for what turned out to be almost 2000 individual crafts
