I have an issue with my index and on ES startup i get an 

org.elasticsearch.index.mapper.MapperParsingException -- tried to parse field [null] as object, but found a concrete value

thus ES is not starting at all...

The data i have is of no importance, is there a way to manually delete the index all together (mapping and data) ? Or if not just update the index mapping?

I am not sure if that's a good idea but you can try deleting 'indices' folder - this will delete all the indices so be careful.

I have 2 elasticsearch clusters one with 3 indexes and other is empty so the folder structure is looking like this,

  1. the one with 3 indexes,

    ls "the data directory path from elasticsearch.yml"/nodes/0/indices

As you can see the index names are obfuscated.

  1. the one with no indexes,

    ls "the data directory path from elasticsearch.yml"/nodes/0/

    node.lock _state

second one has no 'indices' folder.

HTH.
