hello! I have just finished the set up of a curator and it successfully deletes the indices with the correct pattern. However, I noticed that under Monitoring --\> Indices: --\> deleted index the name of the file still exists with a status of "Deleted" in gray. Is there a way to also delete this line through the job I've set up?

That greyed out 'deleted' in Kibana will go away after the time picker window no longer references a time when that index _did_ exist. There is nothing else you need to do for this but wait. ---
