Flask-SQLAlchemy how to delete all rows in a single table

Flask-Sqlalchemy

Delete All Records

#for all records
db.session.query(Model).delete()
db.session.commit()

Deleted Single Row

here DB is the object Flask-SQLAlchemy class. It will delete all records from it and if you want to delete specific records then try filter clause in the query. ex.

#for specific value
db.session.query(Model).filter(Model.id==123).delete()
db.session.commit()

Delete Single Record by Object

record_obj = db.session.query(Model).filter(Model.id==123).first()
db.session.delete(record_obj)
db.session.commit()

Try delete:

models.User.query.delete()

From the docs: Returns the number of rows deleted, excluding any cascades.

DazWorrall's answer is spot on. Here's a variation that might be useful if your code is structured differently than the OP's:

num_rows_deleted = db.session.query(Model).delete()

Also, don't forget that the deletion won't take effect until you commit, as in this snippet:

try:
    num_rows_deleted = db.session.query(Model).delete()
    db.session.commit()
except:
    db.session.rollback()
