Deleting a Consumer Group

Scenario

Deleting a consumer group does not impact normal messages in a queue. Normal messages still exist in the queue and can still be retrieved by other consumer groups.

Dead letter messages are specific to consumer groups. If a consumer group is deleted, the dead letter messages of the consumer group are also deleted, regardless of whether they have been retrieved. Deleted dead letter messages can no longer be retrieved.

Prerequisites

A consumer group has been created.
