Because qmail-send maintains its own information
about the contents of the queue, independent of what
is on disk. If the two get out of sync, qmail-send
will not be happy.

qmail-clean is used internally be qmail-send.
If you really need to delete messages from the queue,
kill qmail-send. When it's exited, look through
the output of qmail-qread for the message numbers
you want. Then delete everything corresponding to
those message numbers:
{local,remote,info,mess}/<msgnum%23>/<msgnum>
qmail-qread will not tell you about stuff in todo/
