Cluster deletion not handling Topic Deletion | v0.31.1

[senthil13]

Hi Experts,

I have a strimzi cluster running on poc K8s. The issue is while the cluster is deleted the topics are staying there. So to perform a clean delete. Do I need to delete the Kafka as well as the topics?

$kubectl delete -f kafka-listener-ephemeral.yaml -n kafka
kafka.kafka.strimzi.io "strimzi-cluster" deleted
secret "listener-secret" deleted

$kubectl get KafkaTopic -n kafka -o wide
NAME                                                                                               CLUSTER           PARTITIONS   REPLICATION FACTOR   READY
consumer-offsets---84e7a678d08f4bd226872e5cdd4eb527fadc1c6a                                        strimzi-cluster   50           1                    True

strimzi-topic-operator-kstreams-topic-store-changelog---b75e702040b99be8a9263134de3507fc0cc4017b   strimzi-cluster   1            1                    True
test-topic                                                                                         strimzi-cluster   1            1                    True

How I can perform a clean delete?

Thanks

The Topics are separate resources. So if you want to delete them, you have to do it separately. Or you can also use kubectl delete $(kubectl get strimzi -o name) to delete all Strimzi custom resources at once.
