# DeleteMessageBatch
<a name="API_DeleteMessageBatch"></a>

Deletes up to ten messages from the specified queue. This is a batch version of ` DeleteMessage.` The result of the action on each message is reported individually in the response.

**Important**  
Because the batch request can result in a combination of successful and unsuccessful actions, you should check for batch errors even when the call returns an HTTP status code of `200`.

## Examples
<a name="API_DeleteMessageBatch_Examples"></a>

The following examples show how a `DeleteMessageBatch` request deletes two messages. You must URL-encode the entire URL. However, in this example only the message body is URL-encoded to make the example easier to read. The structure of `AUTHPARAMS` depends on the signature of the API request. For more information, see [ Examples of Signed Signature Version 4 Requests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/sigv4-signed-request-examples.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.
