Confirm whether or not removing initial metadata dirs from cores is needed

[jpotts]

PS
BTW... can you explain why AFTER having create a brand new index SOLR6 with the command

./solr/bin/solr start -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive"

your are deliting them and coping a backup from your ansible template ?

I found documentation of the first command (Dcreate) but I do NOT find any documentation requiring to delete the indexes and restore a backup copy....
WHY are you proceeding this way ?
WHERE did you get the documentation for that ?
