If you want to delete all ACLs that apply to topics, you could use a
deletion filter with resourceType=AclResourceType.TOPIC,
resourceName=null.  I think that answers the question, unless I
misunderstood.

Note that it's important to distinguish between wildcards (the "*"
value) and "any".  For example, when your deletionFilter has
principal="User:*" you are not deleting ACLs for all users.  Just ACLs
that have the principal field set to "User:*"  If you want to delete
ACLs for all users, you can use principal=null.  Similarly,
principal=null is only valid in a filter, not in an actual ACL that is
applied to a resource.

best,
Colin
