I just delete some indices in Elasticsearch with the DELETE /index\_name query. Now, if I open the "indices" tab of the "Monitoring" view in Kibana, it always show the indices that I delete. How can I definitly delete these indices ? ---

If you are issuing a delete and get a 200 response, but the indices still exist, then something else is creating them. ---

This morning I restart Elasticsearch and the deleted indices finally disappeared. ---
