<a name="deleting-a-reserved-queue"></a>

You can delete any queue other than the default queue. You can't delete a reserved queue that has an active pricing plan or that contains unprocessed jobs. The following tabs show two options for deleting a reserved queue. 

------
#### [ Console  ]

To delete a reserved queue by using the MediaConvert console:

1. Open the [Queues](https://console.aws.amazon.com/mediaconvert/home#/queues/list) page in the MediaConvert console.

1. Choose the reserved queue that you want to edit.

1. On the queue’s page, choose **Delete queue**.

------
#### [ AWS CLI  ]

The following `delete-queue` deletes an expired reserved queue.

```
aws mediaconvert delete-queue \
	--region region-name-1 \
	--name ReservedQueue1
```
