Hi,

I have cluster with a single node. Today, I upgraded Elasticsearch and Kibana from 7.5 to 7.15.  
Maybe it's not related to the upgrade but now, the delete phase is missing when I want to create a new Index Lifecycle Policy. I only have Hot phase, Warm phase and Cold phase.  
Any idea ?

HI @ggab31

The UI Has changed a Bit... Instead of that separate Delete Phase is is now the Remove Icon on the last phase you use...

Thank you very much Stephen.
