Not used?
1) Sometimes indexes are not used, and for a good reason. 2) Non used indexes only slow down upon inserts, updates, deletes.   Not so for retrieval
3) No, there is no view - but it's not all trial and error. Trace and explain plan
  are the keywords you are looking for. And, of course: 4) the documentation that came with the system (you *do* have documentation?)
  There must be a reason for that index... (well, some developers....)
