The admin interface is not designed for such mass deletions. When deleting millions of objects, it can be necessary to paginate the deletion to avoid exhausting the resources of your database server. I don't think it's suitable for a view to try and do this.
Btw in the case of sessions, use the 'clearsessions' management command: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/django-admin/#clearsessions . In the case of admin logs, I would use 'shell' with the ORM.
