I am upgrading ES to the latest version, but after installing it, I found that some of the pipelines I don't need but I cannot delete them,
logs@json-pipeline
logs-default-pipeline
logs@json-message
ent-search-generic-ingestion
search-default-ingestion
behavioral\_analytics-events-final\_pipeline
logs@default-pipeline
When I deleted them and restarted the ES service, the following log appeared and they were added back

May I ask how I should handle it

Welcome to the forum.
You asked for suggestions - I suggest, based on what information you supplied, NOT to delete them.
Maybe better explain what actual problems they are creating for you?
By the way , I thought latest is currently 8.17.4? You really using 8.17.5?

Thanks for the clarification
So maybe one of the Elastic employees will reply with an official answer / way / advice.
Personally, within any product there’s features I might not personally be interested to use currently. But I can’t really appreciate the full interdependences between this and that across the whole product. So I’d be ultra-cautious before deleting stuff. Your pipelines and the system supplied pipelines can surely coexist.
