  @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.
