May be a very simple question.
I know, there's the glDeleteTextures procedure that does the work, so I can create a "texture manager" that loads and unloads the textures, but is there a way to delete all textures in a simple call?

No, i don't think there are other ways. Possibly you can reinitialize the whole rendering context and OpenGL, but that's a little overkill compared to just going through each texture and deleting them 1 by 1.
glDeleteTextures does the work and also can delete all your textures at once if you store all of them in a single Array.
I make my own procedures that will delete those loaded for specific purposes. You can load all your textures into any array like Jimmy states and then simply plug that number into glDeleteTextures yes, but if you want better management be sure to keep those that are needed only at specific times (level specific or splash screens) seperate from those needed all the time. (main menu and in-game menu graphics)

Ok. Then I should use a "texture manager".
Thank you.

This is obvious, but maybe you can use tlist as it is a general purpouse list manager with add, insert and delete metods for any kind of objects.
