I will give it a try. I know how to delete log files. But to delete the 
zookeeper data,
do I only need to run the delete script?

Without the proper functionality of delete topic, I'm not sure if deleting the 
zookeeper and kafka data just for that topic is enough or not. On the surface, 
this approach seems sufficient, but I'm not sure of all the consequences of 
doing that. Also, remember to bounce the entire cluster once you've deleted the 
zookeeper and kafka data for the topic in question.

Can you give it a try and let us know how it went?

Thanks,
Neha
