Instead of delete, maybe it is easier to script the current db and recreate it? Something like this: SQL Server 2012 copy database without data - Stack Overflow[^]

Use TRUNCATE to remove data and reset the ID. If you have relations set up then you'll need to do it in the right order.

Copying as-is from the above link

Note that TRUNCATE won't work if you have any referential integrity set.

In that case, this will work:

EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'DISABLE TRIGGER ALL ON ?'
GO
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'DELETE FROM ?'
GO
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ALTER TABLE ? CHECK CONSTRAINT ALL'
GO
EXEC sp_MSForEachTable 'ENABLE TRIGGER ALL ON ?'
GO
