Application Accessing Deleted Blob Storage Documents

[usmantariq-odl]

I am encountering an issue where the application continues to access and provide answers referencing documents that have already been deleted from the Blob Storage. Despite removing these documents, it seems the system is still using them as part of its data source.

@pamelafox , Could you please investigate why this is happening and provide guidance or a resolution to ensure deleted documents are no longer accessible or referenced by the application?

@usmantariq-odl Are you using the integrated vectorization approach, the default for this repo, or are you bringing your own index? Every indexing approach will have different ways they handle blob processing.

If you're using integrated vectorization, have you re-run the indexer after removing them? It's not currently run on a schedule.

@pamelafox , Yes I'm using the Integrated vectorization approach. I recreated the indexer by deleting it and deploying app again and it worked fine then. But i couldn't find a way to just clean the indexer or reset it directly from Azure, if you know the best approach. Please let me know.

Kind regards.

Here's documentation about running an indexer:

It sounds like you may want to run it on a schedule:

We can add these links to the readme somewhere.
