How to remove a redundant custom index from oak:index?

Hello,

We are facing an issue where a custom index we created is conflicting with an OOTB index and we want to remove it and replace it with a more suitable index. 

We have removed the custom index from our _oak_index/content.xml but it remains in our environment after deployment. 

Is there a way to force this out of our environment?

Kindest Regards,
Reece

Hi @roorue ,

 

I found this information in the AEMaaCS documentation (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/operations/indexing). Hope it helps. Sharing the screenshot below.

If you are creating custom index then you need to include under filter.xml and after every update to custom index we need to update the version and increment it by 1.

After installation it should remove the old index
