I deleted it in the gui, but now when I try to recreate it (and point it to a new location), Splunk is telling me that it already exists. Are there additional steps that need to be done? </P> Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:55:33 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/deleting-an-index/m-p/103133#M1518 a212830 2013-01-29T15:55:33Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/deleting-an-index/m-p/103134#M1519 <P>Use the indexes.conf configuration file to change the path instead of the ui manager.<BR /> And move the files to the new location before restarting splunk.</P> Tue, 29 Jan 2013 16:23:55 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/deleting-an-index/m-p/103134#M1519 yannK 2013-01-29T16:23:55Z
