I want to remove all the relations (created with the Relation module) on my site because I have replaced them with an entityreference field.

At /admin/structure/relation, I can delete the Relation Types, but this does not delete the relations belonging to each type.

At /admin/content/relation, I can delete the relations individually, but there are 100K relations on this site.

At /admin/structure/views/view/relations/edit/page, with the Views Bulk Operations module enabled, I can change the contextual filter Relation: relation type to "Display all results for the specified field" for When the filter value is NOT in the URL and then add a bulk operation to delete item under Fields. This allows me to go to /relations and trigger a bulk operation to delete all the relations.

Is there a faster way that doesn't involve customizing views?

  • Do you actually need the module still? Are there any other Relations, or is this truly all of them?

  • @MPD I'm nearly 100% sure that I have converted all of them to entityreferences, and I'm running this on a dev server first to make sure.

There are many ways to delete relations on a site. Relations are Entities in Drupal.

  1. The Delete All module can help with this process.
  2. The Drush Entity command set has a delete function which takes a content type I believe.
  3. With care you could by hand TRUNCATE the relation table, and destroy and drupal Fields that use relations. (I've done this on a few sites).
