Hi ,

I am a new user to app-search while I was playing with app-search I updated some documents and later I have decided to change the fields from the documents, but I have realized that the old fields still exist in the schema. Is there any way to delete the old fields from the schema?

We do not support this currently, so you would have to delete and recreate the engine.
