[rabbitmq-discuss] Queue / Exchange Purge

[Alexandru Scvorţov]

Hi Steven,

Exchanges are just message routers.  You publish messages to them, and
they route the messages to queues immediately, based on the routing
keys.  Exchanges *never* hold messages, so purging them doesn't really
make sense.

What are you trying to achieve?

Cheers,
Alex
