A repository in OpenSearch is simply a configuration that maps a repository name to a type (file system or s3 repository) along with other information depending on the type. The configuration is backed by a file system location or an s3 bucket. When you invoke the API, the physical file system or s3 bucket itself is not deleted. Only the configuration is deleted.
