There was a problema user was reflecting

What I did was following steps

1. Divide the count of table into segments for divide
2. Then use the even Odd functionality for smooth looping
3. Use a simple while loop and SET ROWCOUNT functionality for further deletions across table with checkpoint
4. It saved the log swell up and resources moderation of SQL
5.BUt make sure DB is Simple Recovery model as well so that it can curb log growth and also please test the script in UAT rather than Production directly
