XF 2.2 elasticsearch is acting up. can i just reinstall?

[Joshua]

Can't figure out why elasticsearch won't start up. Can I just safely remove and reinstall without breaking anything? Gonna use this guide: https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-to-install-elasticsearch-7-x-for-xenforo.19272/

I've just restarted it on your server, an d it's up and running now:

Is it failing intermittently? The last error messages I could see were disk space related, which shouldn't be an issue now.
