I have installed elasticsearch cluster on a Linux server. Initially I installed Elasticsearch 7.x (but then changed the elasticsearch to 6.8). Elasticsearch is running fine.
I did the same with Kibana on a Windows Server. initially installed version 7.x then uninstalled it and installed Kibana 6.8
When I run Kibana I get this error:
```

istant.

FATAL Error: Index .kibana belongs to a version of Kibana that cannot be automatically migrated. Reset it or use the X-Pack upgrade assistant.
ERROR: The process with PID 6020 (child process of PID 6100) could not be terminated.

```
I have no idea how to reset .kibana index or use x-pack upgrade assistance.

I managed to fix it by delete .kibana index
`curl -XDELETE http://localhost:9200/.kibana -u elastic:password`
