Node won't start up due to dupliate alias/index names

[DavidTurner]

@Ant

but regardless of if I wait or do it now I just delete all the content in my data directories and then restart the service?

Yes that's right. Just the data directories for this one node, of course.

@Ant

Is there a way of identifying the .kibana and .kibana_2 index on the node without starting it to be able to delete just that and remove the issue that way maybe?

Unfortunately there's no safe way to do this kind of surgery on the data directory by hand.
