<p>Deletes a state machine. This is an asynchronous operation: It sets the state machine's status to <code>DELETING</code> and begins the deletion process. </p> <p>If the given state machine Amazon Resource Name (ARN) is a qualified state machine ARN, it will fail with ValidationException.</p> <p>A qualified state machine ARN refers to a <i>Distributed Map state</i> defined within a state machine. For example, the qualified state machine ARN <code>arn:partition:states:region:account-id:stateMachine:stateMachineName/mapStateLabel</code> refers to a <i>Distributed Map state</i> with a label <code>mapStateLabel</code> in the state machine named <code>stateMachineName</code>.</p> <note> <p>For <code>EXPRESS</code> state machines, the deletion will happen eventually (usually less than a minute). Running executions may emit logs after <code>DeleteStateMachine</code> API is called.</p> </note>
