rpk cluster config force-reset

Forcibly clear a cluster configuration property on a broker.

Do not use this command for general changes to cluster configuration. Use force-reset only when Redpanda does not start due to a configuration issue; for example, when a property is set to an invalid value or when a property is missing that Redpanda requires to start.

This command erases the named property from an internal cache of the cluster configuration on the local broker, so that on next startup Redpanda treats the property as if it was set to the default.

If your cluster is working properly and you want to reset a property to its default value, either use the set command with an empty string, or use the edit command and delete the line containing the property.
