How do I permanently delete more than 20.000 work items in Azure DevOps recycle bin?

I tried to solve it programmatically via the Azure DevOps REST API:

Get Deleted Work Items

However, when using this endpoint, I get the following error message:

{“$id”:”1″,”innerException”:null,”message”:”VS402337: The number of work items returned exceeds the size limit of 20000. Change the query to return fewer items.”,”typeName”:”Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Server.WorkItemTrackingQueryResultSizeLimitExceededException, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Server”,”typeKey”:”WorkItemTrackingQueryResultSizeLimitExceededException”,”errorCode”:0,”eventId”:3200}

However, the endpoint does not seem to support any query options.

Any ideas?
