    • you can use phpmyadmin
      go to phpmyadmin
      select your joomla database
      select the content table (in the left column menu of data tables)
      set the page to show 1000 items
      scroll to the bottom and select "Check All"
      scroll select the "Delete" red "X" near the "Check All" link
      or use the what do to "With Selected" drop down and choose "Drop"
      do this until the content table is empty.

      You can try larger than 1000 items but I have tested this with 1000 and it worked very fast.
