I am having issues with your deleteAll functionality isn’t working via API. Here’s a screenshot of the code that I’m using to try to invoke your API. I also tried calling the same API without the namespace parameter, but I get an error. The function returns but no items get deleted from the index.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you add ids=[]& to your URL, it will work.  
So it would be `/vectors/delete?ids=[]&deleteAll=true&namespace`

We will update the doc to indicate ids is required or otherwise relax the requirement. Thanks again.
