'Topic is MarkedForDeletion , how to force topic deletion without topic aggressive removal from disk and from zookeeper

We have kafka broker cluster version - 2.7 , we have 3 brokers machines

We removed the following topic , by following cli

bin/kafka-topics.sh --delete --zookeeper zoo01:2181 --topic my_first_car

After 1 day

we still see the topics on kafka disk , and also from following command

kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zoo01:2181 --describe 
Topic: my_first_car   PartitionCount: 200     ReplicationFactor: 1    Configs: segment.bytes=1073741824,retention.bytes=7434770380    MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 0    Leader: none    Replicas: 1001  Isr: 1001       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 1    Leader: none    Replicas: 1002  Isr: 1002       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 2    Leader: none    Replicas: 1003  Isr: 1003       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 3    Leader: none    Replicas: 1001  Isr: 1001       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 4    Leader: none    Replicas: 1002  Isr: 1002       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 5    Leader: none    Replicas: 1003  Isr: 1003       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 6    Leader: none    Replicas: 1001  Isr: 1001       MarkedForDeletion: true
        Topic: my_first_car   Partition: 7    Leader: none    Replicas: 1002  Isr: 1002       MarkedForDeletion: true
    

We also notice that topics is exist on zookeeper under /topics

So in order to try to complete delete this topic we restart all Kafka broker machines , but this isn't help

What are the next steps to delete the topic - my_first_car

It is ridiculous , that Kafka provide cli to delete topic , but actually topic stay on Kafka disk

Note - the last thing that we want is to delete the topic from the disks and from the zookeeper , but this is the ugly way
