DeleteByQuery using "from"

[Alder]

Hello everyone from elastic

I try to exclude some docs by specifying the starting document offset.

Based on the documentation below

Delete by query API | Elasticsearch Reference [7.8] | Elastic

I write this C # code

public async Task EraseData(string indexName, int from, int pageLength)
        {
            var response = this.AnalysisRepository.Client.DeleteByQuery<Dictionary<string, object>>(del => del
                                .Index(indexName)
                                .MaximumDocuments(pageLength)
                                .From(from)
                                .Query(q => q
                                    .QueryString(qs => qs
                                        .Query("*")
                                        )
                                    )
                                );
        }

But I get this error:
Validation Failed: 1: from is not supported in this contex

Elastic version 7.8.1
Nest version 7.8.1

Hi all from elastic, I find one solution with DeleteMany

// 01 buscar os documentos sem os campos de auto descoberta
                var observer = this.AnalysisRepository.Client.ScrollAll<Dictionary<string, object>>("50m", 3, sc => sc

can you explain what you are trying to achieve with a from, when you want to delete documents based on a query criteria? I do not understand the use-case and I have the feeling that this may lead to a wrong solution.

My objective is reindex an index, in small blocks, applying the ApplyDictionary() method.
To update the index I delete the old items and include the new itens by applying the ApplyDictionary() method.
