DeleteQueue
Deletes the queue specified by the QueueUrl
, regardless of the queue's
contents.
Be careful with the DeleteQueue
action: When you delete a queue, any
messages in the queue are no longer available.
When you delete a queue, the deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. Requests you
send involving that queue during the 60 seconds might succeed. For example, a
SendMessage
request might succeed, but after 60
seconds the queue and the message you sent no longer exist.
When you delete a queue, you must wait at least 60 seconds before creating a queue with the same name.
Cross-account permissions don't apply to this action. For more information, see Grant cross-account permissions to a role and a user name in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.
