Steps to recreate:

- default install and start of kibana (5.2.0)
- save a saved search, visualization or dashboard
- shutdown, change kibana.index in config/kibana.yml:
  - from ".kibana" (default)
  - to: ".kibananew"

- restart kibana and browse to management \> saved objects

Expected: No saved searches, visualisations or dashboards to be present, because it should be looking for them in ".kibananew" which is empty?

Actual: They're still there.

Any help much appreciated! 🙂

I just tried this on my local 6.2.0 Kibana and it worked properly.  
Was the `.kibananew` index created properly on your side? or was Kibana still stuck on `.kibana` and this is why you still saw the objects?

So on second attempt this worked for me - i.e. I got the expected outcome above.

Either browser caching was an issue or I messed up!

Thanks for your help 🙂
