To clear an index in Elasticsearch, you can use the DELETE method to delete the index and all of its contents. Here's an example using the Elasticsearch API and the curl command:

1

curl -X DELETE http://localhost:9200/index_name

Make sure to replace "index_name" with the name of the index you want to delete.

You can also use the Elasticsearch client library of your choice to delete an index.

Please note that once an index is deleted, the data and the index itself can not be recovered.
