Hi Team,

Is there any way or SEMP API available to delete the messages from a queue?

Thanks

@tejaschowsalkar , Looking at the SEMPv2 Action API reference, there is no single API call to delete ALL messages.

You will have get the list of messages with GET first
https://docs.solace.com/API-Developer-Online-Ref-Documentation/swagger-ui/action/index.html#/queue/getMsgVpnQueueMsgs

and iterate over them to call delete
https://docs.solace.com/API-Developer-Online-Ref-Documentation/swagger-ui/action/index.html#/queue/doMsgVpnQueueMsgDelete

Also pl see this thread:

Hi, this can be done simply with a SEMPv1 script. There is an example purge queue script here.
