Basically what the question says.

I have a database where I've created a bunch of different views while trying to learn how the whole thing works. Now I have a few views I really need and a lot of views I don't need. However I have not been able to find a way to remove those views using futon. What am I doing wrong?

I'm also accepting solutions that don't involve futon.

    I just feel like I'm missing something really obvious. Looking in google for 'delete couchDB view' doesn't return anything. I hate missing really obvious things. – Santino Jun 09 '15 at 21:52

The views map/reduce code is located inside design docs. You have to remove the view from the ddoc which you can achive via futon

DB > design docs > ddoc > remove view code > save ddoc

In which ddoc a particular view is stored can be seen in the filter dropdown in futon.

Alternatively the ddoc update can be done via CouchDB API.
