By default, the resources need to be "used" before they are deleted.
However, the behavior is configurable. Try using this:
<address-setting match="CRON_JOB_QUEUE.#">
...
<auto-delete-queues-skip-usage-check>true</auto-delete-queues-skip-usage-check>
...
<auto-delete-addresses-skip-usage-check>true</auto-delete-addresses-skip-usage-check>
...
</address-setting>
See more details in the documentation [1].
