[Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.]
Removes an existing catalog from the collection of catalog objects managed by an AdminIndexServer object. It can also delete the catalog directory from the system.
