How can I programmatically clear several rows in a table?

In PowerPoint itself (without programming), I clear several rows like this: select the rows I need and press the Delete key on the keyboard.

How do I do exactly the same action using programming?

    VBA macros don't offer any interaction to select rows. You would have to define the rows to be deleted in the macro, and the macro would always delete the same rows in each table where you used it.

    It's possible to create a macro that clears a set of selected rows, but that has no advantage over simply pressing the Delete key.
