Delete an alias and index in elastic search

I am working on elastic search and I have the following situation.

  1. I have two indices index1 and index2.
  2. Alias1 points to index1 and index2.
  3. Alias2 points to index2.

I would like to delete all of them. Do I need to delete index1, index2 and then delete aliases ? Will the aliases exist if I delete both the indices ? If they exist, what are the java API's to delete those aliases ?

If you want to delete your Alias not index then first delete the Alias and then Index

Once you have deleted your index, the alias will also get deleted.

In your case, you can directly delete index1 and index2.

Note: I've experimented it in ES 1.7
