i'm trying to figure out how to permanently delete a queue. i'm using activemq 5.9. i purge and delete the queue and everything looks fine. however, when i restart the server, the queue re-appears. now, this is mostly harmless for a normal queue as it just sits there empty. however, for a consumer queue for a virtual topic where the consumer is gone (for good), this presents a problem. since the topic is still active, the consumer queue will start accumulating new messages but there is no longer a consumer removing them so the queue starts to fill up. i've seen the "gc if inactive" feature, but in this case, the queue will not be inactive as the underlying topic is still active. i've also seen recommendations about setting timeouts on messages to avoid filling inactive queues, but that seems more like a hack than a solution (not to mention that it changes the functionality of the application). this seems like a pretty straightforward situation (deleted queues staying deleted), so i'm confused why this seems so complicated. failing any of this, is there some way i could audit queue creation on startup and avoid creating queues which are empty?
