3.4. Deleting Browsing Indexes from the Command-Line
Deleting a browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index from the command-line involves two
steps:
1. Using the ldapdelete to delete browsing index entries or edit existing browsing index entries
(Section 3.4.1, “Deleting a Browsing Index Entry”).
2. Running the vlvindex script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be maintained
by the server (Section 3.4.2, “Running the vlvindex Script”).
The actual entries for an alphabetical browsing index and virtual list view are the same. The
following sections describe the steps involved in deleting browsing indexes.

Use the ldapdelete command-line utility to either delete browsing indexing entries or edit
existing browsing index entries. To delete browsing indexes for a particular database, remove
the browsing index entries from the cn=index,cn=database_name,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry, where cn=database_name corresponds to the name
