The detailed answer is as follows (with reference to above very helpful and useful answer)

import pika


connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters(
               'localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()


channel.queue_delete(queue='hello')

connection.close()

Since this seems to be a maintenance procedure, and not something you'll be doing routinely on your code, you should probably be using the RabbitMQ management plugin and delete the queue from there.

Anyway, you can delete it from pika with:

channel.queue_delete(queue='hello')
