How to delete all AWS Transcribe Jobs at once through CLI?

I am trying to delete all of my AWS Transcribe jobs at the same time. I know I can go through and delete them one by one through the console, and I can also delete them all through the CLI through the following command: 

$ aws transcribe delete-transcription-job --transcription-job-name YOUR_JOB_NAME

The issue with this is that I have to do this for each individual job! I am dealing with them on a mass scale (about 1000 jobs), and I don't want to have to go in and delete each one manually (even with a Automator set up on my Mac, this is not efficient'. Is there anyway to just delete every Transcribe job instead of putting the specific job name in?

It doesn't look like it. The closest option is to write a script that lists out all the jobs with list-transcription-jobs and then loops through deleting them:

for jobName in $(aws transcribe list-transcription-jobs --query '[TranscriptionJobSummaries[*].TranscriptionJobName]' --output text);
  do aws transcribe delete-transcription-job --transcription-job-name $jobName;
done

Note there is sometimes a limit to the number of records AWS CLI will return in one call. You may have to run this multiple times or write the script to use the --next-token argument to page through the entire list of jobs.

See: delete-transcription-job — AWS CLI Command Reference
