Thanks that worked. I have a shift_availability table and the auth_user
table. The auth_user table contains a location. I want to clear all the
rows in the shift_availability table but by location. Below is the solution:

if form.process(formname='form').accepted:
    rows = db((db.shift_availability.created_by == db.auth_user.id)
              & (db.auth_user.location_id ==
auth.user.location_id)).select(db.shift_availability.id)

    db(db.shift_availability.id.belongs(rows)).delete()
