Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes you need to put new data into a table, replacing an old data.
Right now it's possible, but you need to get the list of rows and then delete them one by one.
Describe the solution you'd like
DELETE /index.php/apps/tables/api/1/views/{viewId}/rows/* or something like that.
Describe alternatives you've considered
#437 With option to delete all

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing rows API for views and the related issue #437, then determine how a DELETE request should identify the table or view and represent truncation. Done means a documented endpoint can replace a table's existing data without requiring clients to delete rows individually, with behavior aligned to the existing API.
