> Is there any way to delete these messages that are sitting in the outbound queue? I certainly don’t need to spam thousands of people with digests that are from topics 6 months ago. I DO need to use digests for the new users.

Easiest way to remove emails from the outbound queue is to flush redis

```bash
# ssh into your server
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
redis-cli flushall

```
