To delete an existing encrypted index, you can connect to it and then call the delete_index() method. 
from cyborgdb import Client

# Create a client
client = Client(
    base_url='http://localhost:8000', 
    api_key='your-api-key'
)

# Provide the same index key and config used when creating the index
index_key = your_existing_32_byte_key  # Must be the same key used originally

# Connect to the existing index
index = client.load_index(
    index_name="my_index", 
    index_key=index_key
)

# Delete the index
index.delete_index()
