Yeah, seriously, this.

Another option for deleting all queues (since 3.2.0) is to define a 
policy which gives every queue a very short expiry.

$ rabbitmqctl set_policy deleter ".*" '{"expires":1}' --apply-to queues

Then - assuming your queues are unused, which I assume is why you're 
deleting them - this will expire them near-immediately. Remember to 
delete the policy again afterwards, or you'll struggle to declare 
anything...

$ rabbitmqctl clear_policy deleter

Cheers, Simon
