I had installed x-pack earlier and used it, but The elasticsearch.stdout log says :

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown secure setting [bootstrap.password] please check that any required plugins are installed, or check the breaking changes documentation for removed settings

Thanks.

When you install X-Pack, bootstrap password is added to the keystore. If the elastic user does not have a password, the bootstrap is used by default. So, when it is set but don't run elasticsearch with X-Pack, elasticsearch fails!

Considering you uninstalled the X-Pack, I can recommend you remove it from the keystore by running the following command after navigating your [elacticsearch]/bin directory:

elasticsearch-keystore remove bootstrap.password
