Hi All,

Under the kibana "management" and then "Reporting" I can see and download my reported documents but I'm not able to find any options to remove them ?  
Is there a way to do that ?  
Is any one can help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi  
Currently there is an open issue tracking this: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26725](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/26725)

The safest way to delete Reports from ES directly is:

```auto
POST /.reporting-<yyyy.mm.dd>/_delete_by_query
{ "query": { "match_all": {} } }

```

That deletes the documents, but not the index completely, making the mappings still correct for the index. That's the safe thing to do if you need to delete recent reports.

Thanks  
Rashmi
