There is no problem starting/stopping zookeeper and server multiple times. So what is the best way of purging a topic and removing its reference from zookeeper entirely. I can physically delete the logs dir, but what else I need to do to remove the topic. when I do: kafka-topics.sh--zookeeper localhost:2181 --delete --topic topic-name it only marks the topic for deleting but does not delete it. Thanks Sachin
