-To delete the index, you can use an HTTP request.
-Use the command as in the following example:
-
-```bash
-curl --request DELETE 'https://elasticsearch:9200/_all'

+To delete an index, you can use the ElasticSearch's REST API.
+
+First, use the [`_cat/indices` endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/cat-indices.html) to list existing indices:
+
+``` bash

+Create a list containing all indices used by the DXP, including the [custom indices](search/search_engines/elasticsearch/configure_elasticsearch.md#define-field-type-mappingtemplates) as well.
+
+Then, delete them by using the [delete index endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/indices-delete-index.html) 
+
+``` bash
