Hello Community,

I'm unable to delete the messages from the Dead-letter section in Azure Service Bus Explorer. There are more than 3000+ messages and we want to permanently delete them from the section without using any third-party tool to perform the cleanup. Is there any built-in functionality in Azure that can help to delete these messages? Please let me know the options in detail.

Thanks,

Sreeni.

    Hi @Sreeni.dwbi Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. Thank you for posting this question here.

    You can process the messages in Service bus dead-letter queue using .Net FormatDeadLetterPath method. A sample implementation to achieve this has been described in the following post

    In addition to this, there are different approaches specified in the post How to delete/clear active/dead-letter messages from Azure Service Bus Queue? on a similar ask. Couple of approaches suggest using Azure portal or an API call - Receive and Delete Message. The path to your dead-letter queue to invoke your API will be of the following format - <queue path>/$deadletterqueue

    Hope this helps. Please let us know if you run into any issues implementing any of the proposed approaches.
