Not sure where you got that from. The proper delete query to delete *all* records would be: <delete><query>*:*</query></delete> Please note that you have to follow the delete with a commit. You can use curl to call Solr for both the delete and commit. Please see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateXmlMessages for details. Regards, Gora
