+### Cancelling the Indexing Process
+Deleting an index does not guarantee that the indexing stops. This is a limitation caused by Drupal's queue system where
+they will keep executing if not explicitly deleted. Therefore, before deleting an index using the Tripal Elasticsearch,
+you should delete all queues that contain the name elasticsearch. To do so, visit `/admin/config/system/queue-ui`, check
+all relevant queues and press the  `delete queues` button. After that, go to the manage indices page
+(at `/admin/tripal/extension/tripal_elasticsearch/indices`) and delete the index.
