  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    // TODO(developer): Replace these variables before running the sample.
    String projectId = "my-project-id";
    String locationId = "us-central1";
    String queueId = "my-queue";
    deleteQueue(projectId, locationId, queueId);
  }

  // Delete a queue using the Cloud Tasks client.
  public static void deleteQueue(String projectId, String locationId, String queueId)
      throws IOException {

    // Instantiates a client.
    try (CloudTasksClient client = CloudTasksClient.create()) {

      // Construct the fully qualified queue path.
      String queuePath = QueueName.of(projectId, locationId, queueId).toString();

      // Send delete queue request.
      client.deleteQueue(queuePath);

      System.out.println("Queue deleted: " + queueId);
