Proper method for deleting an index

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am deleting old indices using a cronjob:

1 0 * * * find /data/elasticsearch/db/vault_elasticsearch/nodes/0/indices
-type d -name 'logstash*' -mtime +15 -exec basename {} ; | xargs -I INDEX
curl -XDELETE 'http://localhost:9200/INDEX/'

This is causing problems in elasticsearch. It's having trouble determining
whether or not the index is valid. Eventually, the ES process crashes.
There could be other factors causing this, but for the purposes of this
post, I only need to verify that I am deleting the index properly.

Thanks!
