DeleteQueue

<p>Deletes the queue specified by the <code>QueueUrl</code>, regardless of the queue's contents.</p> <important> <p>Be careful with the <code>DeleteQueue</code> action: When you delete a queue, any messages in the queue are no longer available. </p> </important> <p>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 <code> <a>SendMessage</a> </code> request might succeed, but after 60 seconds the queue and the message you sent no longer exist.</p> <p>When you delete a queue, you must wait at least 60 seconds before creating a queue with the same name.</p> <note> <p>Cross-account permissions don't apply to this action.
