I have used: ./kafka-topics.sh --delete --topic unibs --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 It did work for me:
~/Downloads/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.1/bin$ ./kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 unibs ~/Downloads/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.1/bin$ ./kafka-topics.sh --delete --topic unibs --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 Topic unibs is marked for deletion. Note: This will have no impact if delete.topic.enable is not set to true. ~/Downloads/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.1/bin$ ./kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 ~/Downloads/kafka_2.11-0.9.0.1/bin$ Did you set the delete.topic.enable to true in the broker file configuration?
