Delete a VLV index using the dsconfig tool. Before deleting it, check that the index is not being used in any plugin applications.

To remove a VLV index from the database, use dsconfig with the delete-local-db-vlv-index option.

$ bin/dsconfig delete-local-db-vlv-index --index-name givenName \ 
  --backend-name userRoot

To verify the deletion, try to view the VLV index.

$ bin/dsconfig get-local-db-vlv-index-prop --index-name givenName \ 
  --backend-name userRoot
