Hi,

What is the fastest and reliable way to purge data of Things with logged Properties?

doing Value Stream purging from Composer either gets timeout or long ending execution. E.g. PurgeAllPropertyHistory

Is there any way to Purge logged property data of all the Things in one go?

Any postgres query can be triggered from Thingworx to purge all the data?

Already tried this but since I have huge data, it is getting timed out for the service execution.

If you're looking for fastest way, login to db and delete entries by query. From thingworx query transaction and delete and commit will take little time.
