Method: Aws::Sqs::Queue#clear

Defined in:
lib/sqs/sqs.rb

#clear ⇒ Object

Clears queue, deleting only the visible messages. Any message within its visibility timeout will not be deleted, and will re-appear in the queue in the future when the timeout expires.

To delete all messages in a queue and eliminate the chance of any messages re-appearing in the future, it’s best to delete the queue and re-create it as a new queue. Note that doing this will take at least 60 s since SQS does not allow re-creation of a queue within this interval.

queue.clear() #=> true
