### Description GORM does not provide a `deleteAll` method as deleting data must be done with caution. To delete data you can use `executeUpdate`. The basic syntax is:
    Book.executeUpdate(String query)
    Book.executeUpdate(String query, List positionalParams)
    Book.executeUpdate(String query, Map namedParams)
Parameters: `query` - An HQL query with DML-style operations `positionalParams` - A `List` of parameters for a positional parameterized HQL query `namedParams` - A `Map` of parameters for a named parameterized HQL query | Quick Reference (hide)
