Deleting the Documents, Collections, Indexes, or Databases
This topic describes how to delete different objects from RavenDB using the Management Studio. In order to delete any object, you need to select it and then right-click on it and select Delete, you can also press the Delete key or use the Delete toolbar key from the Documents screen to delete a document when it is loaded in the editing screen.
You can delete a bulk of documents based on their collection association. Since a collection is just a logical unit in RavenDB, there is no actual meaning in deleting a collection. By deleting a collection, you are telling RavenDB to delete all the documents sharing the same entity name which is equal to the name of the collection you are asking to delete.
You can use the Delete all Indexes button in the Indexes screen of the Management Studio to delete all the indexes of a given database. When used, all the indexes will be deleted, except from Raven/DocumentsByEntityName which is the index used by the Management Studio.
