Solr: how to delete a collection?

Question

I am using solr 4.9, not adding any additional shard, just use whatever default it comes with it. I have created a collection and tried to delete it by using the following api :

http://<host>/solr/admin/collections?action=DELETE&name=collectionName 

but it returns error :

Solr instance is not running in SolrCloud mode

My Solr is not solrCloud, but how do I delete my collection?

Answer 1

Go to the solr folder and Do this..

bin/solr delete -c collection_name 

and restart solr with

bin/solr restart
