You can delete one or more vectors by providing their vector ids, vector id prefix, or metadata filter.

Tip

idsstring[]#

Array of vector ids to delete.

prefixstring#

Prefix of vector ids to delete.

Warning
Deleting vectors with metadata filter is a O(N) operation that performs a full scan. Therefore, it might be slow for large indexes.
