Removing a Collection

You can remove a collection after it has been created. When a collection is deleted, it is no longer visible to users on the search query page, and all configuration and index files associated with the collection are deleted. The actual documents that formed the collection are not deleted from the file system, just their index entries in the collection are deleted.

To remove a collection, perform the following steps.

2. Select the Search tab and then click the Maintain Collection link.

3. From the Collection drop-down list, select the collection you want to remove.

4. Click the Remove Collection button.

   Do not use your local file manager to remove collections because doing so will not update the corresponding configuration files.
