How to delete a huge org-table

Question

I forgot to type :results none in babel and now I have a huge table in my org file. How can I select all of those lines and delete them? When I try the straight forward approach of moving to the end of the buffer, Emacs freezes up and I get a "Timed out waiting for property viewers" message in the minibuffer.

Using org-narrow-to-element might help:

1. In the #+RESULT line call C-x n e to narrow to the result.

2. Do something like

   M-: (delete-region (point-min) (point-max)) RET

   to clear everything in the narrowed file.

3. Do C-x n w to widen back to the whole file.
