Hi,
We want to make disappear the outgoing message queues to be sure that our app wouldn't use them anymore. If Outgoing Message Queues are temporary, when does it disappear from compmgmt.msc when they are suspended and cleared, and the application only uses local message queues afterword? Is there a way to delete them?
Best Regards,

What I have tried:

We searched in the tech documentation of Microsoft, post on their blog. We also looked for the info on other websites and forums like StackOverflow, Reddit, Google Groups.

Here's an example for Powershell:

Get-MsmqOutgoingQueue -Name "Order*" | Clear-MsmqOutgoingQueue

For more information, see: Clear-MSMQOutgoingQueue[^]

And here is a more radical example that deletes all queues: Delete all MSMQ queues · GitHub[^]

Thank you for your answer. But we already did clear the outgoing message queues from its messages with this command. We are looking for the reason the Manager keeps the queue live and does not remove it. And if we can remove it ourself.
