Search and selectively remove tasks from Celery

Question

I want to clean up my celery queues. How can I search the tasks by their types arguments and the selectively remove some of them? I am using Redis as a broker if that matters; I prefer to not deal with this at the Redis level though.

Answer 1

The only option I see here is using coding directly using the Kombu library that is what Celery uses as AMQP a library that can dialogue with all the supported broker in an abstract way including Redis. I will anyway discourage this practice as often the need of cleanup queue is an outcome of bad design.
