# DeleteQueueItems

> Enables you to delete items with the New state from a specified [Orchestrator queue](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/docs/about-queues-and-transactions#section-queues-overview). Please note that in order to execute this method in Studio, the Robot has to be connected to Orchestrator and [the Robot role](https://docs.uipath.com/orchestrator/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/default-roles#robot-role) needs **Edit**, **Create**, and **Delete** permissions on queues and **Delete** permissions on transactions. When this method is run, it uses the same authentication context as the Robot which executes it, inheriting its permissions.
