Hello,

I'm completely new to Kibana and Elasticsearch. I've been digging my heels into figuring out why my Kibana is giving me installation issues. I'm utilizing MAC OS.

I installed and deleted and then re-installed both applications however, I continue to get a WARNING:

[warning][savedobjects-service] Unable to connect to Elasticsearch. Error: [resource\_already\_exists\_exception] index [.kibana\_task\_manager\_1/\_2s2vHazSRqCl7dPlZ\_oQQ] already exists, with { index\_uuid="\_2s2vHazSRqCl7dPlZ\_oQQ" & index=".kibana\_task\_manager\_1" }

I've been looking and looking for steps to delete ".kibana\_task\_manager\_1". I'm coming up short on finding that specific index.

Need your help.

Thank you so much

It's odd that there is also an "Unable to connect to Elasticsearch".

Can you provide the response to [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices) and [http://localhost:9200/\_cat/aliases](http://localhost:9200/_cat/aliases)

To clear out everything that is there persisted for Kibana you can run `curl -X DELETE http://localhost:9200/.kibana*` from Terminal - you will need to also pass `-u elastic` if you are using security and it will prompt for your password..
