Unsuccessful Task Definition deletion in Elastic Container Service.

Question

Hi, I have a problem deleting an Elastic Container Service job definition.

I'm still learning about the platform, in a hands-on lab I created a container and Task Definition, but after successfully completing the task I need to delete the container and Task Definition. However, the deletion of the Task Definition is still in progress for almost 3 (three) days, generating an unforeseen cost for me, as I am only in training, I do not use the platform for work.

Because of this I cannot delete the ECS container.

Can anyone help me please?

Hello.

There is no charge for the task definition itself.  
If there is a task (container) that is running, the container must be deleted to incur the cost.

What if we delete the entire service instead of the task definition?

Stopping a task (container) can be done by following the procedure in the following document.
