Delete all indices in Lucene.net

Question

I want to delete all the previously created indices. I am using Lucene.net.

I tried the following:

Term term = new Term         


        

Answer 1

From the Lucene.Net API Doc:

public static IndexReader Open(Directory);

Expert: Returns a read/write IndexReader reading the index in the given Directory, with a custom IndexDeletionPolicy. NOTE: Starting in 3.0 this will return a readOnly IndexReader. Throws CorruptIndexException if the index is corrupt. Throws IOException if there is a low-level IO error.

i guess you should try

IndexReader rdr = IndexReader.Open(_directory, true);
