Answer 1

No, rich does not provide any APIs to Delete/Remove the rows. See this Support for deleting/removing rows/columns from table to understand why no such APIs are added to the Table class.

Just reinitialize the table.

def resetTable():
    global tableTest

    tableTest = Table(title="Star Wars Movies")

    tableTest.add_column("Released", justify="right", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
    tableTest.add_column("Title", style="magenta")
    tableTest.add_column("Box Office", justify="right", style="green")

And call resetTable() whenever you want to reset your table
