I am new to AWS and wanted to ask a question about Amazon SQS and AWS SDK. From my understanding SQS has visibility timeout feature and after making ReceiveMessage request call the message gets hidden and can not be received for some indicated time.

But what if I want to delete the message from the queue after it gets processed by consumer application ? Do I need to make DeleteMessage request or does some other method exist that I am not aware of, because from what I understand SQS is billed by amount of requests so I would need to pay both for ReceiveMessage and DeleteMessage requests to consume and process the message ?
