Symphony CMS is an XSLT-powered, open source content management system/framework built in PHP that enables users to create and manage websites and web applications of all shapes and sizes.

It allows you to define the types of content required, the structures that should deliver that content to the front end, and the templates that should transform it into various formats for users.

Each layer of Symphony's content management infrastructure is comprised of distinct, fully configurable components. A project's content types are defined using sections and fields. Its pages provide dynamic front-end interfaces for viewing and interacting with that content. Data sources fetch and organize the content and deliver it to pages as XML, where page templates and utilities are applied to transform it into a desired format (HTML, for example). Advanced interactions, like data submission, can be enabled using events.

Delete all data of a specific section

I need to delete all the data in a specific section. Because I have several hundreds, I cannot manually delete them. Also, I cannot delete the section and rebuilt because the section is tied to a third party sync tool.
