1. How to delete all relationships in neo4j graph?

Answer 1

you are probably doing it correct, only the dashboard shows just the higher ID taken, and thus the number of "active" nodes, relationships, although there are none. it is just informative.

to be sure you have an empty graph, run this command:

START n=node(*) return count(n);
START r=rel(*) return count(r);

if both give you 0, your deletion was succesfull.
