Hello everyone,

I have uninstalled x-pack from my 26 nodes with `elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack` and `elasticsearch-keystore remove bootstrap.password` , but I get back some errors.

```
[2018-06-19T10:33:35,507][ERROR][o.e.b.Bootstrap] Exception
[2018-06-19T10:33:35,529][WARN][o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler] [SOCdata-16] uncaught exception in thread [main]

```

And

```
[2018-06-19T09:23:26,805][WARN][o.e.c.m.MetaData] Skipping unknown custom object with type licenses
[2018-06-19T09:23:26,806][WARN][o.e.c.m.MetaData] Skipping unknown custom object with type ml

```

So what is wrong ?

Thanks a lot.

You need to provide more information.

- What version are you running?
- What does the rest of the log say? You haven't provided any details of the exception that occurred.

Why are you trying to remove x-pack anyway? If you install a free "basic" license, you will be able to continue to use some of the features, and it will eliminate many of these problems.

Elasticsearch version : 6.2

Plugins installed: vega (I have uninstalled x-pack with /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack and elasticsearch-keystore remove bootstrap.password)

JVM version : java version "1.8.0\_161"

OS version : ubuntu

I am working on vega, a kibana plugin, and all my scripts are blocked in the plateform : becaude of the expired X-pack license, I could not access the platform anymore, so I unistalled X-pack and that errors occured.
