PurgeQueue
Method for deleting messages in a queue. It takes some time to delete messages. To make sure no messages are left in the queue, pause sending messages to the queue and call the GetQueueAttributes method.
Messages that were sent to the queue before calling PurgeQueue can be picked by consumers, but will be deleted from the queue within the next minute.
Messages sent to the queue after calling PurgeQueue won't be deleted.
