The
For standard queues, it is possible to receive a message even after you delete it.
This might happen on rare occasions if one of the servers which stores a copy of the
message is unavailable when you send the request to delete the message. The copy remains
on the server and might be returned to you during a subsequent receive request. You
should ensure that your application is idempotent, so that receiving a message more
than once does not cause issues.
ReceiptHandle of the message (not the MessageId which
you receive when you send the message). Amazon SQS can delete a message from a queue
even if a visibility timeout setting causes the message to be locked by another consumer.
Amazon SQS automatically deletes messages left in a queue longer than the retention
period configured for the queue.
ReceiptHandle is associated with a specific instance of receiving
a message. If you receive a message more than once, the ReceiptHandle is different
each time you receive a message. When you use the DeleteMessage action, you
must provide the most recently received ReceiptHandle for the message (otherwise,
the request succeeds, but the message will not be deleted).
For .NET Core this operation is only available in asynchronous form. Please refer to DeleteMessageAsync.
