Include Data Streams in ILM Policy

Hi There,
I am making use of Data Streams and an ILM Policy to delete data that is rolled over from Hot phase to delete phase, this happens after 3 days.

I wanted to check if there is a way to include the actual deletion of the Logstash Data Streams themselves as part of the ILM. The ILM deletes the data in the indexes but the data stream backing indexes still seem to exist, as well as the Data Streams themselves.
This pushes the index and shard count up over time.

Is there a correct way to maintain the data streams themselves and to clear out the backing indexes automatically as part of an ILM or another method?
Thanks

ILM deletes things at the index level. If you are still seeing backing indices then we'd need more information to help. Can you share the output from _cat/indices?v and an ILM explain on the policy?

Please see _cat/indices?v below

Here is an explain of an index I would have expected to be deleted already since the date range is from 23 Sep.
GET .ds-logstash-2022.09.23-2022.11.18-000090/_ilm/explain

  "indices" : {
    ".ds-logstash-2022.09.23-2022.11.18-000090" : {
      "index" : ".ds-logstash-2022.09.23-2022.11.18-000090",
      "managed" : true,
      "policy" : "logstash-lifecycle-policy",
      "lifecycle_date_millis" : 1668868934988,
      "age" : "2.58d",
      "phase" : "hot",
      "phase_time_millis" : 1668781935613,
      "action" : "complete",
      "action_time_millis" : 1668868935988,
      "step" : "complete",
      "step_time_millis" : 1668868935988,
      "phase_execution" : {
        "policy" : "logstash-lifecycle-policy",
        "phase_definition" : {
          "min_age" : "0ms",
          "actions" : {
            "rollover" : {
              "max_primary_shard_size" : "48gb",
              "max_age" : "1d"
            }
          }
        },
        "version" : 6,
        "modified_date_in_millis" : 1668501109372
      }
    }
  }
}

Here is the request for the ILM itself

PUT _ilm/policy/logstash-lifecycle-policy
{
  "policy": {
    "phases": {
      "hot": {
        "min_age": "0ms",
        "actions": {
          "rollover": {
            "max_primary_shard_size": "48gb",
            "max_age": "1d"
          }
        }
      },
      "delete": {
        "min_age": "3d",
        "actions": {
          "delete": {
            "delete_searchable_snapshot": true
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Well I am not sure where the index names are coming from but right there it says there index is only 2.58 days old and your policy says delete 3days after rollover so that is most likely why it has not been deleted yet.

Also something else going on those are empty indices.. ILM does not delete docs it deletes indices.

Perhaps share your logstash pipeline output section.

Thanks. Yes agreed that is the reason why it's not deleted. The strange part for me is why is it still being written to up until the the 18th Nov when the index looks to be created on the 23 Sep already

It's using fluent-bit to push the logs. Below is the config which I think is relevent.

It looks like the issue was with my fluent-bit configuration. I added the following options that have an asterisk, which remove the date range from the indexes and the ILM kicked in correctly
