Cannot delete a Kafka topic in Windows - windows

Question

I have set the Zookeeper properties of "delete.topic.enable" to true. But I still cannot delete the topic. When I do mvn install or mvn test, I got following problems:
WARN Error processing kafka.log:type=LogManager,name=LogDirectoryOffline,logDirectory=C:\Users\extznq\AppData\Local\Temp\EH4Test7267133751803693562 (com.yammer.metrics.reporting.JmxReporter:397)

I think the Warning is all right. But I do not know why I would get errors, although I run the Eclipse as administrator. Especially, the KafkaStorageException, I still have 50GB in my computer.
Environment:
Windows 10
Zookeeper 3.5.3-beta
Kafka 1.0.0

Answer 1

looks like you have an invalid character in the properties: Invalid character ':' in value part of property; also in the line below it seems that the placeholder you are using it is not replaced properly: C:\Users\{My-topic-path}
Furthermore there is an open issues related to file operation such as moving/delete in windows environment, I got the same problem upgrading from 0.10.2.1 to 1.1.0
