How to delete multiple lines by line number

Is there a way to delete all the lines between two particular line number via command pallete in Sublime Text 3?

I frequently run into the situation of having a large file and needing to delete a few thousand lines between two particular line numbers. It'd be nice to not have to wait for the render due to user scrolling and just let the CPU do the delete in the background.
