 # Corrupt Indexes
 
+The data integrity of Examine index files can be compromised if for example files are removed. When this happens, Umbraco considers the index to be corrupt.
+
+As some systems are already hooked into the Examine index lifecycle, resolving this issue outside the application is safest.
+

+
+The following steps cover clearing out corrupt indexes in a self-hosted environment.
+
+1. Stop the website/app pool.
+2. Remove the directory containing the corrupted index files.
+3. Restart the website.
+
+## Resolution on Umbraco Cloud

+4. Open the debug console.
+5. Choose CMD.
+6. Navigate to `C:\home\site\wwwroot\umbraco\Data\Temp`.
