This page describes how to delete tasks from a push queue and how to delete queues. In some cases you might need to delete a task that cannot be completed successfully, no matter how many times it is retried.
This API is supported for first-generation runtimes and can be used when upgrading to corresponding second-generation runtimes. If you are updating to the App Engine runtime, refer to the Upgrade to second-generation runtimes page to learn about your migration options for legacy bundled services. Delete tasks from a queueTo delete a task from the Google Cloud console:
Open the Cloud Tasks page in the console.
Click the name of the queue from which you want to remove the task.
Select the task that you want to delete and click Delete selected tasks.
Click Delete.
To delete a task from the Google Cloud console:
Open the Cloud Tasks page in the console.
Click the name of the queue from which you want to remove the task.
Select the task that you want to delete and click Delete all tasks.
Click Delete.
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.yaml file and then uploading the edited queue.yaml file. Setting any queue's rate to 0 will also pause the queue.
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 file with the queue defined and rate set to a non-zero value. Paused queues continue to count as a part of your quota.
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 file.
Upload the change to your queue.yaml file.
gcloud app deploy queue.yaml
Once the queue is removed from your queue.yaml file, use the Google Cloud console to delete it.
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.
