The safest way to delete Reports from ES directly is:
POST /.reporting-<yyyy.mm.dd>/_delete_by_query
{ "query": { "match_all": {} } }
That deletes the documents, but not the index completely, making the mappings still correct for the index. That's the safe thing to do if you need to delete recent reports.
