I ran into a problem when I deleted just the "index" directory; I deleted the entire data directory and it was recreated on the next load. BTW, if you're using the DIH, its default behavior is to remove all records on a full import, so you can save yourself having to remove any actual files.

I there's a directory named by the core and it contains a subdir named data that contains a subdir named index that contains a bunch of files that contain the data for my index. Let's say I want to completely rebuild the index from scratch. Can I delete the dir named index? I know the next thing I'd have to do is a full data import, and that's ok. I want to blow away any traces of the core's previous existence.
