Deletes one or more task definitions. You must deregister a task definition revision before you delete it. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_DeregisterTaskDefinition.html">DeregisterTaskDefinition</a>. When you delete a task definition revision, it is immediately transitions from the <code>INACTIVE</code> to <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code>. Existing tasks and services that reference a <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code> task definition revision continue to run without disruption. Existing services that reference a <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code> task definition revision can still scale up or down by modifying the service's desired count. You can't use a <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code> task definition revision to run new tasks or create new services. You also can't update an existing service to reference a <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code> task definition revision. A task definition revision will stay in <code>DELETE_IN_PROGRESS</code> status until all the associated tasks and services have been terminated.
