   For the moment you can check the execute_query method where u can pass ur custom Weaviate query to delete ur index (check Weaviate docs for that). On the othrr hand we can try to add a more native API for this method, something like delete or clear

   Hi @hsm207, yes correct. I'd like to do that with the docarray api.

   @isspek noted. That is not possible at the moment. Right now, only delete by document ids is supported e.g:

   del test_index[["1", "2"]]

   • I have read and followed the docs and still think this feature is missing

   Description

   Hi everyone,

   I started using docarray with Weaviate. My question is about clearing index of Weaviate by using the docarray API. I have set up a collection as shown at the below code. It is a test collection, and want to clear or remove this index after testing. How can I clear/remove it with the docarray library? Thanks a lot!

   runtimeconfig = WeaviateDocumentIndex.RuntimeConfig(batch_config=batch_config)
   store = WeaviateDocumentIndex[MyIndex](
      host="http://localhost:8080", index_name="MyIndex"
   )
   store.configure(runtimeconfig) 

   Affected Components

   • Vector Database / Index
   • Representing
   • Sending
   • storing
   • multi modal data type

   Instead of deleting that can we update it into an empty string? Just asking :)
