Documents still exist after index deletion

Hi Everett,

Thank you for your answer. I deleted the 1 and 2 directories, renamed 2 to 0. And restarted my cluster. And it worked. Thank you for your time :slight_smile:

What is weird is that on the third node (i'm running a three node setup) the actual current indices resides in directory 0 while directory 1 contains legacy indices. The second node is ok though (only 0 directory).
So I'm wandering how could elastic even handle data and know which directories are the good ones across nodes.

I'm running elastic inside a Docker, One single instance per node. This problem happened after a hazardous shut down that i've mentioned here : Elastic inside Docker loses docs when shutdown while bulk indexing

Thank you for your time.
