Amazon Web ServicesAmazon SQS message-queue API
PurgeQueue
Deletes available messages in a queue (including in-flight messages) specified by the QueueURL parameter.
When you use the PurgeQueue action, you can't retrieve any messages deleted from a queue.
The message deletion process takes up to 60 seconds. We recommend waiting for 60 seconds regardless of your queue's size.
Messages sent to the queue before you call PurgeQueue might be received but are deleted within the next minute.
Messages sent to the queue after you call PurgeQueue might be deleted while the queue is being purged.
The complete 23-action Amazon Simple Queue Service API, preserving AWS JSON 1.0, AWS Query compatibility, SigV4, and regional endpoint rules. The web Playground does not yet have an AWS SigV4 and region-selection execution adapter; use the local SDK/CLI to call SQS.
