I need help, please. I tried the following comand to erase the index, but when I start kibana, it creates it again and the same mistake comes up (the mistake is at the bottom).

// curl -XDELETE '[http://localhost:9200/.kibana\_task\_manager\_2](http://localhost:9200/.kibana_task_manager_2)' --header "content-type: application/JSON" -u elastic -p

THE MISTAKE I GET:

Are you getting this error when upgrading Kibana? Which version are you using?

Hello, no, I haven't updated. My kibana version is 7.6.0 and Elasticsearch is in version 7.6.0.
