How to delete data (single series) from a database with endless retention policy?

1

I simply can’t delete any data.

Using delete from "%" where "entity_id"='entity_id=h5055_batt'; seems to work (no output, so it seems to fail silentsly), but doing a select shows/confirms: data still exists.

Retention policy is open end (Duration: ∞).

Using delete from "homeassistant"."autogen"."%" where "entity_id"='h5055_batt'; gives

ERR: error parsing query: retention policy not supported at line 1, char 1
