Troubleshooting Topic Deletion Failures¶
Symptom¶
A deleted topic still exists.
Root Cause¶
Automatic topic creation has been enabled for the instance, and a consumer is connecting to the topic. If services are not stopped, message creation will continue, and new topics will be automatically created.
Solution¶
Disable automatic topic creation for the instance and then try again to delete the topic. For details, see Configuring Automatic Topic Creation.
