Answer 1

Step 1: Make sure you are connected to zookeeper and Kafka running

Step 2: To delele the Kafka topic run Kafka-topic (Mac) or Kafka-topic.sh if use (linux/Mac) add the port and --topic with name of your topic and --delete it just delete the topic with success.

# Delete the kafka topic
# it will delete the kafka topic
kafka-topics --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 --topic name_of_topic --delete
# or
kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper 127.0.0.1:2181 --topic name_of_topic --delete
