delete_queue

delete_queue(
    queue_url: String, *, config_overrides: Optional[SQSClientConfig] = None
) -> None

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 username in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.

The delete operation uses the HTTP GET verb.

Parameters:

  • queue_url (String) –

    The URL of the Amazon SQS queue to delete.

    Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.

Raises:

  • InvalidAddress –

    The specified ID is invalid.

  • InvalidSecurity –

    The request was not made over HTTPS or did not use SigV4 for signing.

  • QueueDoesNotExist –

    Ensure that the QueueUrl is correct and that the queue has not been deleted.

  • RequestThrottled –

    The request was denied due to request throttling.

    • Exceeds the permitted request rate for the queue or for the recipient of the request.

    • Ensure that the request rate is within the Amazon SQS limits for sending messages. For more information, see Amazon SQS quotas in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide.

  • UnsupportedOperation –

    Error code 400. Unsupported operation.

  • UnknownServiceError –

    The service returned an error code this client does not model.
