Index Delete (BETA)

Warning

This API is in beta. We may make backwards-incompatible changes while it is in this state. If you write code which uses it, just be aware that the API may change in breaking ways up until it moves out of beta.

This API marks an index for deletion — the action is not immediate. After this API method has been called, the index will be marked with status="delete-pending", and will be cleaned up according to the applicable policy.

delete-pending indices cannot have active tasks in progress. Tasks which are already in progress will terminate, and any pending tasks will be transitioned to the CANCELLED state.

Indices with a trial status of is_trial=true will be deleted a few minutes after being marked for deletion. Indices with a trial status of is_trial=false are kept for 30 days prior to deletion, and are eligible for use with the reopen API, once they are marked delete-pending.
