Queue is not removed when sidekiq stops

I am currently doing this daily to deal with this issue:

Sidekiq::Queue
  .all
  .select { |q| q.name =~ /^sidekiq_alive-/ }
  .select { |q| q.any? { |w| w.created_at < 1.day.ago } }
  .each(&:clear)

Obviously not ideal, but helps for the time being.

This is the script I wrote to remove all sidekiq-alive queues that don't have a registered instance (zombie queues).

queues = Sidekiq::Queue.all

queues.each do |queue|
  next unless queue.name.starts_with? 'sidekiq_alive-'

  registered_queues = SidekiqAlive.registered_instances.map { |i| "sidekiq_alive-#{i.split('::')[1]}" }

  next if registered_queues.include? queue.name

  puts "Clearing queue #{queue.name}"
  queue.clear
end
