Typically, if someone has already moved or issued the material through other means (i.e. issued the material to the job when it was in the receiving warehouse before the queue was processed) then you can delete the queue entry.
In your case, it sounds as if people have been doing that, so processing the queues at this point would create problems so yeah I would delete them.
You can avoid the queue by unchecking the "Request Move" checkbox wherever you see it on forms. When the request move is checked, it indicates that you want the material to go into the queue. If it's unchecked, it will go directly to its intended destination without going into the queue.
We have our people trained to make sure it's not checked and then we monitor the queue end of day each day to make sure something didn't accidentally get in there.
