How do I delete an orphaned paragraph node?
In Drupal 8, you can still use entity_delete_multiple(), but it is marked as deprecated and it is going to be removed from Drupal 9.

It makes easy to remove those entities using Drush, for example, with the following code.

drush php-eval 'entity_delete_multiple("paragraph", [$id]);'


Even using code that works on Drupal 9, you would delete those entities in a single command line.

drush php-eval '$storage_handler = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()-&gt;getStorage($entity_type); $entities = $storage_handler-&gt;loadMultiple([$id]); $storage_handler-&gt;delete($entities);'


Replace $id with the ID of the entity you are going to delete. You can also delete multiple entities at once replacing [$id] with an array of IDs.
