 Whenever you make any changes in case of variables (for example, environmental ones) or configuration files, you need to erase Elasticsearch index, update the schema, and rebuild the index.
 
-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 update the schema and then reindex the search, use the following commands:

+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/8.19/cat-indices.html) to list existing indices.
+For example, the command `curl  -H "Accept: application/text" elasticsearch:9200/_cat/indices` returns output like the following:
+
+``` 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-mapping-templates) as well.
+
+Then, delete them by using the [delete index endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.19/indices-delete-index.html) 
+
+``` bash
+curl --request DELETE 'https://elasticsearch:9200/default_location*'
+curl --request DELETE 'https://elasticsearch:9200/default_content*'
+(...)
+```
+
+!!! tip
+
+    To quickly delete all existing Elasticsearch indices, you can use the `_all` keyword as the name of the index, as in the following request: `curl --request DELETE https://elasticsearch:9200/_all`.
+    Always review the list of existing indices and confirm they are safe to delete before executing this command, as it permanently removes data.
+
+To update the schema and then reindex the search, use the following commands:
+
+``` bash
+php bin/console ibexa:elasticsearch:put-index-template --overwrite
+php bin/console ibexa:reindex
+```
