# Delete Index

You can access the Full Text Indexes from the **Search** tab. Left-click on this to display the **Full Text Search** panel, which contains a tabular presentation of currently existing indexes, with a row for each index. (See [Searching from the UI](fts-searching-from-the-UI.md) for a full illustration.)

To delete an index, left-click on its row. The row expands, as follows:

* **Delete** causes the current index to be deleted.
