Hi Team ,

```
  Does restore have an option to delete the indices ?

```

lets say i have took snapashot-1 on Node-A and restored it on other Node-B.  
Next i deleted one index on Node-A and took snapshot-2 and restored in Node-B.  
If i check the indices list on Node-B i found the deleted indice as closed.

Is there any option to delete that closed index during restoration process?
