prometheus: delete_series does not remove from typeahead
We had a lot of bad metric names we wanted to delete so it wouldn’t show up in the typeahead on /graph
When deleting a metric using
curl -XPOST -g 'http://localhost/api/v2/admin/tsdb/delete_series' -d '{"matchers": [{"name": "__name__", "value": "metric_name"}]}'
It deletes the timeseries data, but doesn’t remove it from the typeahead results.

This is unrelated to rendering query results @brian-brazil. We suggest metric names which have existed at any time in /graph. The label values API doesn’t support range parameters at this moment and always queries from absolute minimum to absolute maximum. It’d make sense to only query for the metrics available in the selected time range.
