I hope someone will be able to assist me. We have about 15 forums and we create a new one every 6 months. Now we would like to delete some of the very old ones from 2020 as no one has access to them anyway. 

1 Forum usually has 300-400 topics and 2500-4000 replies. When I try to delete one of them I presume it timeout as it will redirect to a 404 error after 5 mins or so. Then when I check the forum list the reply will have be 100-200 less. 

Is there a available plugin or script I can put so it will delete in the background in a small amount at a time? 

Thank you to anyone who will be able to help me.

sounds like you need to change the max_execution_time in your php.ini file to something bigger, like from 300 seconds to lets say 600 to go from 5 minutes to 10 in this example
