[[indices-delete-mapping]]
== Delete Mapping
Allow to delete a mapping (type) along with its data. The REST endpoints are
[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
[DELETE] /{index}/{type}
[DELETE] /{index}/{type}/_mapping
[DELETE] /{index}/_mapping/{type}
--------------------------------------------------
where
[horizontal]
`index`:: `* | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
`type`:: `* | _all | glob pattern | name1, name2, …`
Note, most times, it make more sense to reindex the data into a fresh
index compared to delete large chunks of it.
