All messages SQS are stored in queues. A queue has to be created before any message operations. Queue names must be unique under your access key and secret key.
Queue names can contain lowercase letters, digits, periods (.), underscores (_), and dashes (-). No other symbols allowed. Queue names can be a maximum of 80 characters.

delete()removes all messages in the queue.Example 759. Zend_Service_Amazon_Sqs Queue Removal Example
<?php
$sqs = new Zend_Service_Amazon_Sqs($my_aws_key, $my_aws_secret_key);
$queue_url = $sqs->create('test_1');
$sqs->delete($queue_url);

<?php
$sqs = new Zend_Service_Amazon_Sqs($my_aws_key, $my_aws_secret_key);
$queue_url = $sqs->create('test_1');
$sqs->send($queue_url, 'this is a test');
$count = $sqs->count($queue_url); // Returns '1'
