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](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
