Method: Aws::SqsInterface#delete_queue

Defined in:
lib/sqs/sqs_interface.rb

#delete_queue(queue_url) ⇒ Object

Deletes queue. Any messages in the queue are permanently lost. Returns true or an exception. Queue deletion can take up to 60 s to propagate through SQS. Thus, after a deletion, subsequent list_queues calls may still show the deleted queue. It is not unusual within the 60 s window to see the deleted queue absent from one list_queues call but present in the subsequent one. Deletion is eventual.

sqs.delete_queue('http://queue.amazonaws.com/ZZ7XXXYYYBINS/my_awesome_queue_2') #=> true
