Description

Storage Explorer Version: 1.2.0
Platform/OS Version: Windows
Architecture: ia32
Regression From:

I have a large table with several partitions. As a one-time maintenance operation, I have to delete ~250K rows with the same partition key

Azure Table API doesn't support batch delete, despite the feature being requested since 2012.

It would be VERY helpful if Azure Storage Explorer implemented this by allowing the user to select all query results, even the ones that have not been cached. Currently, I'd have to "Select All Cached" 250 times and click "Delete" 250 times - a total of 750 clicks.

Research direction

Start with the Select All drop-down and the existing Select All Cached behavior described in the issue. Trace how query results are loaded and selected across uncached pages, then verify that selecting all results supports the intended bulk deletion without requiring repeated manual selections.
