title: Removing Data From ElasticSearch
body: <p>I'm new to <a href="http://www.elasticsearch.org/">ElasticSearch</a>. I'm trying to figure out how to remove data from ElasticSearch. I have deleted my indexes. However, that doesn't seem to actually remove the data itself. The other stuff I've seen points to the <a href="http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-delete-by-query.html">Delete by Query</a> feature. However, I'm not even sure what to query on. I know my indexes. Essentially, I'd like to figure out how to do a </p>
  
  <pre><code>DELETE FROM [Index]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From PostMan in Chrome. However, I'm not having any luck. It seems like no matter what I do, the data hangs around. Thus far, I've successfully deleted the indexes by using the DELETE HTTP Verb in PostMan and using a url like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   http://localhost:9200/[indexName]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, that doesn't seem to actually remove the data (aka docs) themselves.</p>
