You can set the retention.ms to something really small, i.e. 60 seconds, & kafka will delete everything older than 60 seconds (eventually).
bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zookeeper.yoursite.com --alter --topic your-topic --config retention.ms=60000 Remember to set it back to something sane after cleanup.
