Delete All Records Does Not Delete All Records

[johndurden]

I've done some searching on the community and elsewhere hoping to find someone else talking about this issue we're having, but I'm not finding anything. Fairly often we need to delete all the records from some tables. In the current situation, there are 115,000 records we need to delete. When go to Tables & Columns > choose the table > click "delete all records", it works for about 5 minutes, then stops. I receive no errors or feedback. It just stops deleting records and it has to be restarted.

The fact that it's taking right around 5 minutes every time makes me think it's a 5 minute timeout. But I don't see a system property for that. Maybe I just need some educating on this. What's going on here? Is there a quicker or better way to delete all the records from tables?
