When you destroy a large proportion of something, it is often referred to as "decimation." The term originally described the Roman practice of killing one in every ten soldiers as a punishment for a unit's failure, but it has since come to mean widespread destruction or significant reduction of a group or population. In broader contexts, it can also imply severe damage or loss.
