What is the impact of physical delete of replica shard on elasticsearch

What is the impact of physical delete of replica shard on elastic search ?

I have restarted one node from my 5 node cluster and i see that one of the shard has not been deleted.
And this keeps on reallocating to and fro between two nodes.

  1. Is there a way that can i delete a reallocating replica shard from elastic or physically from the box.
  2. Will primary shard will create the replica again if I delete the replicas physically or by any other means ?

I hate this time. Can some one help me out.
