What does that mean? Does it mean delete the index and start all over? Delete each item one by one? The first loses the known data names and types (schema) while the latter could take near forever if index is large. If the first, then it should be clean like delete-index rather than delete-all.

Hmmmm. I am ok with delete-index, but then let's make sure we clearly call out in the description that this deletes all products in the node registry, and creates a new index.

I think we have this already. We call it delete-registry. This is where I think the concept of delete gets messed up. If I delete an observational product, then we remove it from registry. Done. However if it was part of a collection, that collection still thinks it is pointing at that observational which no longer exists. You can double check with @tloubrieu-jpl and @alexdunnjpl but I think registry-api is going to hate you for this.

Now delete a collection. Do you remove it from registry-refs too? What about updating all of the bundles that may have it?

The general data-delete leaves your database all messed up because it removes just the registry doc. I can go back and double check, but I do not remember any searches complicated enough to find all references to any document.

In fact, go back to that delete an observational. Do you modify the collection or delete collection? Same with bundle since they can also contain the observational.

I think you may want to simply get rid of the data-delete all around.
