Deleting documents from Solr using UI?

Question

I want to delete some of the documents from Solr index. Searching google I found

update?stream.body=<delete><query>id:XXXXX</query></delete>&commit=true

but when I am coping it as

http://localhost:8983/solr/#/myIndex_shard1_replica1/http://10.101.3.240:8983/solr/#/solr_Ivision_DTO_shard1_replica1

I am getting error that the page does not exists.

Is there any other way from UI where I can delete the docs.

Thanks

`http://localhost:8983/solr/YOURCORE/update?stream.body=id:XXXXX&commit=true` The second URL is definitely wrong. Try something like this. Replace YOURCORE with the actual core name and id:XXXXX with a valid query, or `*:*` for all docs. — jHilscher, May 25 '15 at 13:04

Now in 7.2 it's a bit different...to delete using the ui:

Or

From the admin, select a core from the drop down at the bottom of the left side menu, then click 'Documents' from core menu

Then on the documents page

Change Document Type to XML
Enter the following XML into the Document(s) text box:

<delete><query>id:XXXXX</query></delete>
Click the Submit Document button

 USE:

To delete all the document.

 http://localhost:8983/solr/TABLE_NAME/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3E*:*%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E&commit=true

To delete specific document with given id:

 http://localhost:8983/solr/TABLE_NAME/update?stream.body=%3Cdelete%3E%3Cquery%3Eid:12%3C/query%3E%3C/delete%3E&commit=true

You could delete documents in Apache Solr as below via UI. As preferred you could go ahead with either JSON or XML.

Steps:

JSON:

{'delete': {'query': '*:*'}}

XML:

<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>

It will automatically commit your transaction hence no need to worry.
