Actions
Delete Index
Deletes one or more indices.
Deleting an index deletes its documents, shards, and metadata. It does not delete related Kibana components, such as index patterns, visualizations, or dashboards.
You cannot delete the current write index of a data stream. To delete the index, you must roll over the data stream so a new write index is created. You can then use the delete index operation to delete the previous write index.
