Answer 1

Sometimes, if there are row in some queue the apply process and the propagation process may fails to stop and drop the overspill queues. Here is what I do:
Check which queues have still the 'enqueue' and 'dequeue' at 'ON', stop them and drop them :
set termout off
col version new_value version noprint
col queue_table format A26 head 'Queue Table'
col queue_name format A32 head 'Queue Name'
select substr(version,1,instr(version,'.',1)-1) version from v$instance;
col mysql new_value mysql noprint
col primary_instance format 9999 head 'Prim|inst'
col secondary_instance format 9999 head 'Sec|inst'
col owner_instance format 99 head 'Own|inst'
COLUMN MEM_MSG HEADING 'Messages|in Memory' FORMAT 99999999
COLUMN SPILL_MSGS HEADING 'Messages|Spilled' FORMAT 99999999
COLUMN NUM_MSGS HEADING 'Total Messages|in Buffered Queue' FORMAT 99999999
set linesize 150
select case
  when &version=9 then ' distinct a.QID, a.owner||''.''||a.name nam, a.queue_table,
              decode(a.queue_type,''NORMAL_QUEUE'',''NORMAL'', ''EXCEPTION_QUEUE'',''EXCEPTION'',a.queue_type) qt,
              trim(a.enqueue_enabled) enq, trim(a.dequeue_enabled) deq, x.bufqm_nmsg msg, b.recipients
              from dba_queues a , sys.v_$bufqm x, dba_queue_tables b
        where
               a.qid = x.bufqm_qid (+) and a.owner not like ''SYS%''
           and a.queue_table = b.queue_table (+)
           and a.name not like ''%_E'' '
   when &version=10 then ' a.owner||''.''|| a.name nam, a.queue_table,
              decode(a.queue_type,''NORMAL_QUEUE'',''NORMAL'', ''EXCEPTION_QUEUE'',''EXCEPTION'',a.queue_type) qt,
              trim(a.enqueue_enabled) enq, trim(a.dequeue_enabled) deq, (NUM_MSGS - SPILL_MSGS) MEM_MSG, spill_msgs, x.num_msgs msg,
              x.INST_ID owner_instance
              from dba_queues a , sys.gv_$buffered_queues x
        where
               a.qid = x.queue_id (+) and a.owner not in ( ''SYS'',''SYSTEM'',''WMSYS'')  order by a.owner ,qt desc'
   end mysql
from dual
set termout on
select &mysql
-- now stop the queues:
execute dbms_aqadm.stop_queue('STRMADMIN.<My_queue>', TRUE, TRUE, FALSE);
-- Drop the queue :
execute DBMS_AQADM.DROP_QUEUE( queue_name  => '<My_queue>', AUTO_COMMIT => TRUE);Now if you have the propagation still there, you should be able to stop and drop it also.
