How to delete indexes for Azure AI Studio?

Question

Trying to use 'Add Your Data' functionality in Azure AI Studio but receiving the following error:

An index with the name 'x' in service 'xsearch' could not be created. Index quota has been exceeded for this service. You must either delete unused indexes first, add a delay between index creation requests, or upgrade the service for higher limits. Maximum number of indexes allowed: 15

I am unsure how to find / delete indexes.

Answer 1

Found indexes by going into existing 'search service' resource created in Azure portal and selecting 'indexes' within the search service.

Also, you can use Delete Index (Azure Cognitive Search REST API)

DELETE https://[service name].search.windows.net/indexes/[index name]?api-version=[api-version]
