All tasks created before the moment of purging are expunged. Purge operations can take up to one minute to take effect.
It can take several hours to reclaim the quotas freed up by purging a queue.
Warning: Do not create new tasks immediately after purging a queue. Wait at least a second. Tasks created in close temporal proximity to a purge call will also be purged. Pausing queuesYou can pause a queue by removing its definition from your queue.yamlqueue.yaml
Any tasks that remain on a paused queue or any new tasks that are added to it will not be processed. You can resume the paused queue by uploading a new queue.yaml
You can also pause a queue from within the Cloud Tasks page in the Google Cloud console
Deleting queuesIt is a best practice to pause a queue before you delete it:
Remove the queue definition from your queue.yaml
Upload the change to your queue.yaml
gcloud app deploy queue.yaml
Once the queue is removed from your queue.yaml
In the Google Cloud console, select the queue.
Click Delete queue.
If you delete a queue from the Google Cloud console, you must wait 7 days before recreating with the same name.
