DELETE TAG ALL, is just about instantaneous for removing all index tags.

You'll have to re-create the indexes with new INDEX ON commands though.

Even if you had some way to 'magically' disconnect and reconnect the index file, you would still need to REINDEX the table after the procedure, so this would take the same amount of time as the strategy mentioned above.
