Is it possible to delete a message from outgoing queues? I don't see any option for deleting. How to delete these messages? I am new to msmq. I am trying to send messages from my computer to some other computer. All my messages are sitting in outgoing queue with the status "LOCKED". Not sure why is it locked and I want to delete all these messages in OUTGOING QUEUE.

The various possible status values are described in Internal Private Queues and Outgoing Queues.

Emptying an outgoing queue is discussed in this question: How to Purge an MSMQ Outgoing Queue.

I haven't been keeping up to date with MSMQ but I suspect removing individual messages from an outgoing queue is not possible. Outgoing queues are part of MSMQ's internal infrastructure and shouldn't be manipulated by non-MSMQ code.
