Kinana created index pattern **the-index-pattern** \*. But this record has no ID:

```
GET .kibana/doc/_search?q=index-pattern.title:"the-index-pattern*"
{
"took" : 2,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "successful" : 1,
    "skipped" : 0,
    "failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
    "total" : 1,
    "max_score" : 10.247333,
    "hits" : [
    {
        "_index" : ".kibana_10",
        "_type" : "doc",
        "_id" : "index-pattern-id",
        "_score" : 10.247333,
        "_source" : {
        "type" : "index-pattern",
        "index-pattern" : {
            "title" : "the-index-pattern*",
            "timeFieldName" : "@timestamp"
        }
        }
    }
    ]
}
}

```

Because of that, I cannot delete it. If I use "click here to re-create it", it does nothing.

Any way to delete it? Using Kibana 6.8.8.

You can update that document and add an `id: "index-pattern-id"` field in it.

I deleted it with

```
POST .kibana/_delete_by_query
{
  "query": { 
    "match": {
      "index-pattern.title": "the-index-pattern*"
    }
  }
}
```
