Hi Ashish. As I understand it, the reports are [stored in a `.reporting-*` index](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/reporting-settings-kb.html#report-indices) by default and are (by default) [rolled over into new indices on a weekly basis](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/reporting-settings-kb.html#reporting-job-queue-settings).

Based on [this discussion](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/deleting-old-reporting-index/273684) I believe you could delete unwanted `.reporting-*` indices which should remove older reports. Or you can create an [Index Lifecycle Management policy](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-lifecycle-management.html) that automatically deletes older indices.
