Deleting data inputs

[sruthy]

Hi,
I am new to splunk and when i add datainputs i was not known about the timestamp issue and later i explored it. when i am trying to delete a data input and trying to reinsert it with proper format, i found that the earlier input is still indexed and when i am querying it , i am able to find it. i tried restarting splunk through splunk manager as well as windows services.(both splunkd and splunkweb)

Hi,

Welcome to the world of Splunk...

Without re-writing what has already been written... the following documentation would be helpful here.
