Deleting an AS Group

This interface is used to delete a specified AS group.

force_delete specifies whether to forcibly delete an AS group, remove the ECS instances and release them when the AS group is running instances or performing scaling actions. By default, its value is no, which means not to forcibly delete the AS group.
If the value of force_delete is set to no, the AS group can be deleted only when both the following conditions are met:
- The AS group is performing no scaling action.
- The number of running ECS instances (current_instance_number) is 0.

If the value of force_delete is set to yes, the AS group enters the DELETING state, rejecting new requests for scaling actions while completing the existing scaling actions. Then, all ECS instances are removed from the AS group and the AS group is deleted. Note that the manually added ECS instances will be removed from the AS group and the ECS instances automatically created by AS will be automatically deleted.
