Delete all content entities in Drupal 8.

delete_content_entities.d8.php

<?php

// Delete all nodes.
entity_delete_multiple('node', \Drupal::entityQuery('node')->execute());

// Delete all files.
entity_delete_multiple('file', \Drupal::entityQuery('file')->execute());

// Delete all taxonomy terms.
entity_delete_multiple('taxonomy_term', \Drupal::entityQuery('taxonomy_term')->execute());

// Delete all block content.
entity_delete_multiple('block_content', \Drupal::entityQuery('block_content')->execute());

// Delete all menu links.
entity_delete_multiple('menu_link_content', \Drupal::entityQuery('menu_link_content')->execute());

// Delete all users except 1 and 0.
entity_delete_multiple('user', \Drupal::entityQuery('user')->condition('uid', '1', '!=')->condition('uid', '0', '!=')->execute());

Thank you for this, however, it seems that some of these are deprecated. Do you have a more updated approach to deleting these entities?

An alternative way:

$ids = \Drupal::entityQuery('node')->execute();
$controller = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('node');
$entities = $controller->loadMultiple(ids);
$controller->delete($entities);

$ids = \Drupal::entityQuery('node')->execute(); -> can be removed

$controller = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('entity_type');
$entities = $controller->loadMultiple(); -> load all entities, if no $ids
$controller->delete($entities);

For deleting the comment

entity_delete_multiple('comment', \Drupal::entityQuery('comment')->execute());

This is also a great way to increase the performance of your Drupal site.

For deleting custom entities:

$storage_handler = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('ENTITY_ID');
$entities = $storage_handler->loadMultiple($ids);
$storage_handler->delete($entities);

@Jaesin – Can you maybe update the Gist? Because entity_delete_multiple is deprecated.
