Java:Removing all the rows of DefaultTableModel

Question

I want to delete all the rows of DefaultTable.I found two common ways to delete them on internet but none of them works in my case because those methods does not exist in my

Answer 1

Why complicating simple things, but removes must be iterative,

if (myTableModel.getRowCount() > 0) {
    for (int i = myTableModel.getRowCount() - 1; i > -1; i--) {
        myTableModel.removeRow(i);
    }
}
