editDeletes expired and unused machine learning data.
Prerequisites
editRequires the manage_ml cluster privilege. This privilege is included in the
machine_learning_admin built-in role.

associated with any job are also deleted.
You can limit the request to a single or set of anomaly detection jobs by using a job

expression. You can delete expired data for all anomaly detection jobs by using _all,
by specifying * as the <job_id>, or by omitting the <job_id>.
