Deleting all nodes and relationships in neo4j using cypher exceeds heap space

Question

I have been trying to run this query as recommended in the neo4j google group and in other sources online:

START n = node(*) MATCH n-[r?]-() WHERE ID(n)>0 DELETE n, r;

Answer 1

The Question mark does not work anymore. Use Optional Match..the below should work.

               START n = node(*) 
               OPTIONAL MATCH n-[r]-() 
               WHERE (ID(n)>0 AND ID(n)<10000) 
               DELETE n, r;
