title: How to clear all data from AWS CloudSearch?
body: <p>I have an AWS CloudSearch instance that I am still developing.</p>
  
  <p>At times, such as when I make some modification to the format of a field, I find myself wanting to wipe out all of the data and regenerating it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to clear out all of the data using the console, or do I have to go about it by programatic means?</p>
  
  <p>If I do have to use programatic means (i.e. generate and POST a bunch of "delete" SDF files) is there any good way to query for <em>all</em> documents in a CloudSearch instance?</p>
  
  <p>I guess I <em>could</em> just delete and re-create the instance, but thattakes a while, and loses all of the indexes/rank expressions/text options/etc</p>
