Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When the table has more than 10K (I often deal in the 500K-1000K range) entities, it is very hard to clear it. The easier (not quickest) solution is often deleting the table and remaking it.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a Reset Table/Clear All/Delete All button with a warning. Or allow Select all to select all in the table.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Delete the table and start over. Clicking load more 10000 times and clearing in cache.

Research direction

Start by identifying the Azure Table Storage entry points for loading entities, selecting entities, and deleting them; the issue names no files or tests. Compare a reset/clear-all action with selecting all entities, and define done as safely clearing a 10K+ entity table with an explicit warning without requiring repeated loading.
