Mayuresh Gharat commented on KAFKA-3367: ---------------------------------------- It takes time to delete the logs, depending on the amount of data the topic has. Also when the topic is marked for deletion, the controller has a listener that fires and starts deleting the topic. We have tested this in our environment at Linkedin and it does delete the logs. What version of Kafka are you running? > Delete topic dont delete the complete log from kafka > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3367 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Akshath Patkar > > Delete topic Just marks the topic as deleted.
