"Delete tag all" or alternatively you could delete the CDX file (when you attempt to "use" it would complain "Structural CDX not found" - ignore).

Stephen,
I used the latter CDX file deletion for years w/o a fix in header (which in fact just requries to change the very first byte). Also I tend to prefer creating indexes from scracth (I keep info in a dictionary) rather than a reindex.
-Create a test table with structural CDX.
-Close all
-Go to explorer and delete CDX
-use myTable exclusive
-Ignore message
-Do whatever
-use
