4.10. Deleting Queues

4.10.1. Delete a Queue with qpid-config

The following qpid-config command deletes an empty queue:
qpid-config del queue queue-name
The command will check that the queue is empty before performing the delete, and will report an error and not delete the queue if the queue contains messages.
To delete a queue that contains messages, use the --force switch:
qpid-config del queue queue-name --force
