Delete a task

Deletes a task based on the task_id.

ML Commons does not check the task status when running the delete request. There is a risk that a currently running task could be deleted before the task completes. To check the status of a task, run GET /_plugins/_ml/tasks/<task_id> before task deletion.

Path and HTTP methods

DELETE /_plugins/_ml/tasks/<task_id>
