Delete an alias and index in elastic search

Question

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

I have two indices index1 and index2.
Alias1 points to index1 and index2.
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 ?

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

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