Deprecated.

in favour of using BatchDeleteQuery.deleteSequentiallyUsingBatch(int, String) or delete() if the query does not support batch delete

Delete all instances and their related data that match the query in bulk. Note that only the historical data directly related to the instance will be deleted. This means that for example for historic case/process instances, it will not delete any associated historic case/process instance (these should be deleted through the respective deletion for the particular model) which is owned by another engine (e.g. a process for the cmmn engine). Use the specific deletion methods on the respective history services otherwise: they delete with cascading to all other engines, but are not as performant as the bulk delete here.
