When dropping indexed in Neo4j, subsequent starts show exceptions, looking for non-existing index files.
As pre 3.5 indexes are now all deprecated, we need to move to the new format. So first I removed all current indexes using the drop index instruction. This generates java exceptions in debug.log.
Is there a way for me to purge / clean up the database somehow?
We're using Neo4j Desktop on Windows for development, and also run a Centos 7 community edition.
- Neo4j version: 3.5.0
- Operating system: Neo4j Desktop
