Jun 14, 2013 at 9:51 comment added Letharion Could still be useful if you know what you're doing, and take backups. Deleting thousands of nodes while invoking all hooks and apis can be painfully slow. :(
Jun 14, 2013 at 9:45 comment added Clive I'd strongly recommend not using this module - it sets a time limit of 30 seconds on the script, and runs through each and every node individually, calling node_delete() (it doesn't even bother to use node_delete_multiple()). Even more worryingly, it has an option that deletes data directly from the database tables without using the field API, and without using hooks. No batch jobs at all, it just runs until the script dies. Very dangerous module IMHO.
