Hi, I am using 7.6 version.When I am trying to run elasticsearch bat file,I am facing with following errors ```auto [2020-03-24T08:43:26,869][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [10INLPC0SP3TF] initialized [2020-03-24T08:43:26,871][INFO][o.e.n.Node] [10INLPC0SP3TF] starting ...

I think the most likely cause is that you had two nodes running at once (both the 7.4 and 7.6 one perhaps) and they formed themselves into a two-node cluster. You've now removed one of them, which is half of them, so you have lost [quorum](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-discovery-quorums.html). Assuming this is a brand-new node, the simplest fix is to delete its data path and let it start again from the beginning. ---

How to delete its data path? ---

I don't really understand the question. Assuming you're running Windows, find the data path in Windows Explorer and delete it. ---
