@SoapDog (SPX) Can you try following the steps in https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-first-aid-kit#developing-the-app ? I don't know I've ever run it with npm start, hehe, should maybe just remove that.
If you start your client again you should notice if the indexes are gone. And yeah the feedback is too minimal, I added a spinner for while it's deleting but the deletion is mostly instant :P
