I have been working with Kafka 2.4.0 (2.11) and yesterday I had to forcefully terminate the process for some unknown reason. Since then I haven't been unable to start Zookeeper due to the following error:

[2020-01-11 11:12:43,783] ERROR Unexpected exception, exiting abnormally (org.apache.zookeeper.server.ZooKeeperServerMain)
java.io.IOException: No snapshot found, but there are log entries. Something is broken!

And as soon as I searched for this problem I found issue ZOOKEEPER-3513 reported, which may or may not explain the problem. However, what I'm finding strange is that if I delete the Kafka/Zookeeper directory and download it again from scratch, the problem persists. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

Thank you for your help

Check for the tmp/zookeeper folder on the drive where you have kafka folder (lets say D:/), and delete the folder tmp, which will create automatically for you once run the zookeeper again.
