Taxonomy Delete Batch

Taxonomy Delete Batch module allows you to delete large vocabularies and orphaned terms. This module aims to help you if you want to delete thousands of terms at once.
If you try to delete a Vocabulary what contains a huge amount of terms, you will probably face memory or execution time limitations.
Taxonomy Delete Batch aims to solve that problem using the Batch API of Drupal core.
You may find this module helpful, if you are building or administering a site what generates a huge amount of data, and you need to do a clean-up sometimes.

Comparison

I've tried other modules before writing Taxonomy Delete Batch, but none of them was able to handle thousands of terms, or the intended usage is drush, what is not available on shared hosts. This module can be used on shared hosts.

Installation

As usual.

Usage

The User who has the administer taxonomy permission is able to use Taxonomy Delete Batch.
It integrates into the edit page of vocabularies, and deletes all vocabularies using the Batch API if the user deletes a vocabulary using the admin UI.
