Notes

To open Computer Management, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
You cannot delete queues in the Outgoing Queues or System Queues folder.
You can also perform this task using the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in. For more information, see Related Topics.
When you delete a queue, the triggers associated with that queue are not deleted. If you later re-create a queue of the same name, any existing triggers will be used by this queue. However, this re-created queue will not be monitored by the Message Queuing Triggers service until the computer is restarted, or the associated triggers disabled, and then enabled again. For instructions on setting the enabled or disabled property for a trigger, see View or change properties of triggers and rules for triggers.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
