# Method name: dropIndex(dataCollectionId: string, indexName: string, options: DropIndexOptions)

# Method package: wixDataV2

# Method menu location: wixDataV2 --> indexes --> dropIndex

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-data-v2/indexes/drop-index.md

# Method Description:

Removes an index from a data collection.

The process of dropping an index from a collection takes time.
You can check whether an index has been dropped by calling List Indexes.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Drop an index (dashboard page code)

```javascript
import { indexes } from "wix-data.v2";

/* 
 * Sample dataCollectionId value = 'Jackets'
 *
 * Sample indexName value = 'BySizeAndAvailability'
*/

export async function myDropIndexFunction(dataCollectionId, indexName) {
  try {
    await indexes.dropIndex(dataCollectionId, indexName);
    console.log(`The ${indexName} index is being dropped.`);

    return;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to void */

```

## Drop an index (export from backend code)

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { indexes } from 'wix-data.v2';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

/* 
 * Sample dataCollectionId value = 'Jackets'
 *
 * Sample indexName value = 'BySizeAndAvailability'
*/


export const myDropIndexFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (dataCollectionId, indexName) => {
  try {
    const elevatedDropIndex = elevate(indexes.dropIndex);
    await elevatedDropIndex(dataCollectionId, indexName);
    console.log(`The ${indexName} index is being dropped.`);

    return;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
});

/* Promise resolves to void */
```
