What indices are safe to delete in ElasticSearch?

Milan Lesnek: :wave: Hi is this documentation for data retention still up relatable?
https://docs.camunda.io/docs/1.1/components/operate/deployment/data-retention/
Is it still safe to delete indices with date suffix? :pray:
We nearly killed our elastic after half year so we need somehow save only last month data…

Nicolas: (for those looking for the latest version of this documentation, it was moved to the Self-Managed section https://docs.camunda.io/docs/self-managed/operate-deployment/data-retention/|here)

menski: Hey Milan, yes it’s still safe to delete operate indices with a data suffix if you want to reduce the data retention period, please see the updated link Nicolas posted.

Milan Lesnek: thank you very much :pray:
