iOS 10+的更新解决方案

使用NSBatchDeleteRequest删除实体中的所有对象，而不必将它们加载到内存中或遍历它们。

// create the delete request for the specified entity
let fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult> = MyEntity.fetchRequest()
let deleteRequest = NSBatchDeleteRequest(fetchRequest: fetchRequest)

// get reference to the persistent container
let persistentContainer = (UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate).persistentContainer

// perform the delete
do {
    try persistentContainer.viewContext.execute(deleteRequest)
} catch {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
}

此代码已更新为iOS 10和Swift 3。如果你需要支持iOS 9，请看这个问题。

如果需要删除所有对象且不删除备份文件，可以使用以下方法:

- (void)deleteAllObjectsInContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context
                       usingModel:(NSManagedObjectModel *)model
{
    NSArray *entities = model.entities;
    for (NSEntityDescription *entityDescription in entities) {
        [self deleteAllObjectsWithEntityName:entityDescription.name
                                   inContext:context];
    }
}

- (void)deleteAllObjectsWithEntityName:(NSString *)entityName
                             inContext:(NSManagedObjectContext *)context
{
    NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest =
        [NSFetchRequest fetchRequestWithEntityName:entityName];
    fetchRequest.includesPropertyValues = NO;
    fetchRequest.includesSubentities = NO;

    NSError *error;
    NSArray *items = [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];

    for (NSManagedObject *managedObject in items) {
        [context deleteObject:managedObject];
        NSLog(@"Deleted %@", entityName);
    }
}

注意它可能非常慢(取决于对象图中有多少对象)。

下面这个版本可以删除每个表中的每条记录。

static func resetDatabase() {
    do {
        try dataStore.persistentStoreCoordinator.managedObjectModel.entities.forEach { (entity) in
            if let name = entity.name {
                let fetch = NSFetchRequest<NSFetchRequestResult>(entityName: name)
                let request = NSBatchDeleteRequest(fetchRequest: fetch)
                try mainContext.execute(request)
            }
        }

        try mainContext.save()
    } catch {
        print("error resenting the database: \(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
}

从fileURLPath中删除sqlite，然后构建。

我写了一个clearStores方法，遍历每个存储，并从协调器和文件系统中删除它(错误处理不考虑):

NSArray *stores = [persistentStoreCoordinator persistentStores];

for(NSPersistentStore *store in stores) {
    [persistentStoreCoordinator removePersistentStore:store error:nil];
    [[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:store.URL.path error:nil];
}

[persistentStoreCoordinator release], persistentStoreCoordinator = nil;

这个方法在一个coreDataHelper类中，它负责在persistentStore为nil时创建persistentStore。

重新构建整个CoreData SQLite文件将确保擦除所有数据，因此删除所有实体。只需调用deleteAndRebuild()。

class CoreDataStack {
    // Change this
    static let datamodelName = "ProjectName"
    static let storeType = "sqlite"

    static let persistentContainer = NSPersistentContainer(name: datamodelName)
    private static let url: URL = {
        let url = FileManager.default.urls(for: .applicationSupportDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0].appendingPathComponent("\(datamodelName).\(storeType)")

        assert(FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: url.path))

        return url
    }()

    static func loadStores() {
        persistentContainer.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { (nsPersistentStoreDescription, error) in
            if let error = error {
                fatalError(error.localizedDescription)
            }
        })
    }

    static func deleteAndRebuild() {
        try! persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator.destroyPersistentStore(at: url, ofType: storeType, options: nil)

        loadStores()
    }
}
