I wouldn't recommend holding down the wiper button to empty it. You can ruin your pump if you run it while the resevoir is empty. You don't want to end up having to replace your pump just because you wanted drain the resevoir. Lol, just mix the fluids. It's not like the mixed fluid is going to ruin your windshield lol.
You planning to use a custom mix like 1Z Einszett Kristall Klar Windshield Washer Fluid or something similar? I'm currently waiting for mine to empty as well since its almost bug season in SoCal...

if you really want to empty your fluid the correct way remove the wheel well splash guard on the pass side and remove the 1/4in hose going to the resevoir. it will empty!
This, my friend is your smallest problem you will have with the car. Not sure why you would wanna do that at all
Some of them, like the one I listed, require you to empty it out. Reason being, it will cause streaking when mixed with normal fluids. I tried to go around that and discovered it was true. While the streaking lasts for about 2 seconds in the sun, its still an annoyance if I have a blurry windshield for those 2 seconds.
