Hi Khoi, Short answer: No.
Broker logs are append only, so your options are either to delete all records before a certain offset (for a non-compacted topic) or to have a compacted topic and send a message with a null value. For some applications (such as GDPR compliance, where there's a legal requirement to be able to delete a particular individual's data) people use techniques like cryptoshredding so that message values are encrypted and rendered unreadable by throwing away the decryption key. But obviously this doesn't recover the underlying storage.
