In this example, queue001 has a NaN. This is consider a ghost queue. The queue will not be included in the rabbitmqctl list_queues or rabbitmqadmin list queues commands.
The following command can be used to delete the queue. Once this is done, the queue should no longer be showing in the GUI. Then, the queue can be recreated, if needed.
rabbitmqctl eval 'Q = {resource, <<"VHOST_NAME">>, queue, <<"QUEUE_NAME">>}, rabbit_amqqueue:internal_delete(Q).'

My queue that now is NaN had multiple messages before rabbitmq in a 3 node cluster crashed. How do I recover those messages please?
