Unable to delete index pattern in Kibana - elasticsearch

Question

I have moved from ELK 7.9 to ELK 7.15 in an attempt to solve this problem and it looks like all that effort was of no use. I am still unable to delete the index pattern in Kibana, neither through the console, nor through the GUI.
Trying to delete it from the saved objects section simply gets stuck for ever on this screen
Deleting it from the below, temporarily shows that the index pattern has been deleted. But once you reload the page, it comes back again
The elastic search index does get deleted successfully however.
Trying it all from the devtools also does not seem to work. Some of the attempts made and the respective outputs are shown below:

GET /.kibana?pretty
does not give any document with the index pattern concerned. This was also confirmed by the below 2 queries
GET .kibana/index-pattern/822d7f50-7cd9-11ec-95d5-a3730f55fd30
{
"_index" : ".kibana_7.15.0_001",

"_id" : "index-pattern:822d7f50-7cd9-11ec-95d5-a3730f55fd30",
"found" : false
}
I have been trying to follow the suggestions on https://discuss.elastic.co/t/cant-delete-index-pattern-in-kibana/148341/5
Any help understanding what could I be doing wrong here is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You are not deleting from right index
Do below to delete:
DELETE .kibana/_doc/index-pattern:822d7f50-7cd9-11ec-95d5-a3730f55fd30
To get the documents you are giving wrong type, try below:
GET .kibana/_doc/index-pattern:822d7f50-7cd9-11ec-95d5-a3730f55fd30
