I am not sure if this is the correct forum so please forgive me if not. I am trying to wrap my head around the elasticsearch keystore.
I set up some settings, I removed some settings, I added a new setting which I found was not correct. now I cannot even get the elasticsearch-keystore list command to work. Is there a way to reset it or what other things are depending on it?

You're going to need to be a bit more specific.
What exactly is broken right now?
- what command are you running?
- what error are you getting?

I found an error in a log file and I am trying to remove this setting from the keystore.

Is there some other way to "clear" the elastic keystore of values?

You can simply delete the file and recreate it with `elasticsearch-keystore create` if that's what you want.

This looks like a problem in your `elasticsearch.yml` config file.
Check line 69 - it looks like you've made a mistake there.
