Progress of Remove-PnPListItem?

Hi, I am using the following to delete a large SharePoint Online list (200k items) and was wondering if there was a way I could add something to show the progress through the list? Something like "completed x of x" Any thoughts? Thanks.

 

 

Get-PnPListItem -List $listName -PageSize 500 -ScriptBlock {Param($items)} | ForEach-Object {Remove-PnPListItem -List $listName -Identity $_.Id -Force}

    for($I = 1; $I -lt 101; $I++ )
{
    Write-Progress -Activity Updating -Status 'Progress->' -PercentComplete $I -CurrentOperation OuterLoop
    for($j = 1; $j -lt 101; $j++ )
    {
        Write-Progress -Id 1 -Activity Updating -Status 'Progress' -PercentComplete $j -CurrentOperation InnerLoop
    }
}
