hi, experts

I have a requirement to purge data in Mysql databases (versions 5.7 and 8), some of the tables are big, TB level. what would be the best way to purge data?

My question
1. If I truncate table, for example, 1 TB size table, any performance impact for the database? I know truncate has almost no impact in Oracle, but this is Mysql, so I am trying to confirm.
2. If I delete the data for the table, should I delete in small chunks?

Thank you
Peng
