```js theme={"dark"}
const collectionToDeleteId = {{collectionId}};

// accepts a collectionId and purges all records with no conditions
// must be used from the top level of an instance as it consumes /api
const SLICE_SIZE = 15
const purgeRecords = async(collectionId)=>{
    const data = await getCollectionContent(collectionId)
    if (!data || !data.length) {
        return console.log(`No data to delete in collectionId: ${collectionId}`)
    }

    const ids = data.map(e=>e.id);
    console.log(`ids to delete, ${ids}`);
    for (let i = 0; i < ids.length; i += SLICE_SIZE) {
        await fetch(`/api/datastores/v1/collections/${collectionId}/documents/bulk?ids=${ids.slice(i, i + SLICE_SIZE)}`, {
            method: 'DELETE'
        });
    }

    if (data.length === 10000) {
      purgeRecords(collectionId);
    }
}

const getCollectionContent = async(collectionId)=>{
    const result = await fetch(`/api/datastores/v1/collections/${collectionId}/documents/query`, {
        method: 'POST',
        body: "{}"
    });
    const data = await result.json();

    return data;
}

purgeRecords(collectionToDeleteId);
}
