Welcome to our community! 😃 You will need to clear some data from the host, then restart Elasticsearch. ---

Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂 ---

Do not ever delete indices directly from the file system. ALWAYS use the APIs. ---
