For deleting a node in zookeeper from command line interface there is a delete command. When I run it, it says:

Node not empty: /testNode

I am using this guide.

The zkCli provides the rmr (deprecated) or deleteall command for this purpose. It will recursively delete all nodes under the path. This command did not appear until version 3.4.0. The documentation link you provided is for version 3.3.3.
