Whats the easiest way to empty and save a Core Data Table in Swift?

So I have a entity, which I am treating as a simple Database Table in iOS8 XCODE and SWIFT. I want to delete every entry in the table. Permanently. So when I start up the app again they do not reload.This is my code.

func deleteAllItems(){
        println("All Items are being DELETED")
        var count:Int = 0

        while (HBCContactList.count > 0){
            let AppDel: AppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate
            let MOContext: NSManagedObjectContext = AppDel.managedObjectContext!
            MOContext.deleteObject(HBCContactList[0] as NSManagedObject)
            HBCContactList.removeAtIndex(0)
            var error:NSError? = nil
            if !MOContext.save(&error){
            abort()
            }
            tableView.reloadData()
        }

It looks like it loads. When its finished on the screen there is nothing in UITableView and all is good. However If I write code to return me the entity via a fetch statement and do a count on the number of records. It still says there is over 150 results.

Thoughts? Am I even in the right ball park?
