Delete All products

Question

I have recently performed a data migration from my M1 store to my Magento 2.3 store.

Along with the migration i carried over all products, somewhere around 5,000. A lot of these products are old and i now longer carry stock for so i want to delete all of the products and readd them, after i have exported and fixed the current product list where i can reimport just the ones i require.

when i try to select all products through the Admin panel, the page times out and achieves nothing.

How can i delete all products from my store via SQL?

I recently have written a Codeblog about this

If you really want to delete all products and their related data you could use the following query (this query also includes Enterprise/Commerce queries but you can easily skip these):
