How do I delete all nodes from my firebase realtime database in the console?

Question

I want to delete all the nodes from my root directory as shown in the picture.

There's no delete button in the console, how do I delete them?

There's supposed to be a trash icon near the node, but it's not showing.

Try to use the mouse hover on top of `0` and a trash icon will appear, right? — Alex Mamo, Aug 03 '22 at 11:00
Just click or hover on the parent node your database uri, a cross ❌ icon or trash ️ icon will appear just click on that — Salman Shaikh, Aug 03 '22 at 11:03
No matter how many times I hover, or click the nodes , no icon appears — , Aug 03 '22 at 11:05

The Firebase console switched to read-only mode, since there's too much data for it to handle.

To delete a node, you can:

run a curl request in a terminal window as shown here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42182390
import an empty JSON file into the path you want to delete.
use the API to delete the value from the path.
Navigate to each of the child nodes, and delete those one by one, until you've either deleted them all, or the console switches back to realtime mode.

See It appears on hover - just hover on that and then click on trash button

So after importing JSON

Yes, it was showing for me before too, when my database was empty, but after I imported a JSON file into the database, it's not showing anymore. Maybe its a bug – Aug 03 '22 at 11:10
check this after importing json – Salman Shaikh Aug 03 '22 at 11:14
