In the screenshot that you provided, it is working as design. The 'Note' that you see in the delete command output is a general reminder to set delete.enable.topic=true. If it is already set to true you can ignore that 'Note'</P><P>From the screenshot it looks like deletion is working fine because after deleting, I do not see that topic when you list topics, only when you are creating the topic again shows it in the list.</P><P>May I know how are you verifying that topic is not getting deleted?</P> Mon, 10 Jul 2017 17:57:42 GMT dbains 2017-07-10T17:57:42Z
