I don't know how to do that in Kibana, but there is curator tool that can do that.

On StackOverflow the selected answer shows the full command that should be able to do that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33430055/removing-old-indices-in-elasticsearch

thank you, i did see curator
The reason i ask about doing it from kibana is because this is an AWS Elastic service, so i cannot log into an instance
