Pyqt QAbstractTableModel remove all table rows

[tobbyd]

I'm using a QtableView and I set the model to be my subclassed QAbstractTableModel.
I'm searching a database and I would like to present the results in the QtableView.
Everything works but for each row the new search results are added to a new row in the table.
For each search I would like to completely clear the QtableView/QAbstractTableModel and only present the latest search results.

I have tried every possible example that I can find online but I cant figure it out.
How can I completely clear the QtableView/QAbstractTableModel?

Thanks

Below is my subclassed QAbstractTableModel :

class SearchModel(QtCore.QAbstractTableModel):

def __init__(self,searchWin,  entrys=[[]],headers=[], parent=None):
    QtCore.QAbstractTableModel.__init__(self,parent)
    
    self.entrys = entrys
    self.headers = headers
    self.searchWindow = searchWin
    

    
    
#HAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN A MODEL  
def data(self,index,role):
    
    if role == QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
        
        row = index.row()
        column = index.column()
        value = self.entrys[row][column]
        
        return value
    
    if role == QtCore.Qt.EditRole:
        row = index.row()
        column = index.column()
        return self.entrys[row][column]
    
    if role == QtCore.Qt.ToolTipRole:
        row = index.row()
        column = index.column()
        
        
        
        if self.searchWindow.searchPresetsOnly:
            
            tt = "click to load this preset"
        else:
            tt = str(self.entrys[row][column])
        
        return  tt

#HAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN A MODEL  DATA FOR EACH ROWCOUNT
def rowCount(self,parent):
    return len(self.entrys)

def columnCount(self,parent):
    
    return len(self.entrys[0])

def flags(self, index):
    return QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEnabled | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsSelectable


def headerData(self, section, orientation, role):
    
    if role == QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
        
        
        
        if orientation == QtCore.Qt.Horizontal: 
            
            
            #print(section)
           
            return QtCore.QString(self.headers[section])
            
            
        else:
            return QtCore.QString("Select")
