What should happen when deleting a table?

Let's say we have a table with 10-50 rows, and 3 column each.

Below the table we have a button like empty table, which removes all the rows from it.

After the click happens, what do you think should happen?

• remove the table itself
• remove each row one by one(probably using a timing function)
• disable the table

If we choose the first or second option, then we should probably use some kind of animation, not just removing the table/rows all of a sudden I guess

In that case, what kind of animation do you suggest? A simple fade one, or slide, or something else?

Thanks for the help!
