The same way you can delete any index in PHP: just use wildcards in the index name as you please.

```
<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Elasticsearch\ClientBuilder;

$hosts = ['http://127.0.0.1:9200'];
$client = ClientBuilder::create()->setHosts($hosts)->build();

$params = ['index' => 'logstash-task-2390-*'];
$response = $client->indices()->delete($params);

?>
```
