Question about persistance of data

[jamh <ja...@bccampus.ca>]

Hi,

When I start activemq (v. 5.1.0), I always see a couple of queues and
destinations that were previously created with the persistent flag, and I
suspect they hold messages that were never consumed.  How do I get rid of
these?  In the web admin interface I can purge/delete them, but on restart
they re-appear.

For example, is it safe to just delete the data directory on disk?

Thanks much,
Jam

Yes, it's generally safe to delete the data directory ***if you don't
mind losing those messages***. E.g., it's very common to delete the
data directory while doing development because it will be
automatically recreated when ActiveMQ starts up.
