Hello,
You can access ZooKeeper via several methods, but the easiest is to use the 'hbase zkcli' command from one of the servers running an HBase service. Once in the ZooKeeper CLI, you can run 'rmr /hbase' to remove the znode.
As you have found, this is a necessary step if you are removing and reinstalling HBase using the same ZooKeeper.
