# DeleteDaemon
<a name="API_DeleteDaemon"></a>

Deletes the specified daemon. The daemon must be in an `ACTIVE` state to be deleted. Deleting a daemon stops all running daemon tasks on the associated container instances. Amazon ECS drains existing container instances and provisions new instances without the deleted daemon. Amazon ECS automatically launches replacement tasks for your Amazon ECS services.

**Note**  
ECS Managed Daemons is only supported for Amazon ECS Managed Instances Capacity Providers.

## Examples
<a name="API_DeleteDaemon_Examples"></a>

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (`AUTHPARAMS`) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information, see [Signature Version 4 Signing Process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to create them manually. When you use the [AWS Command Line Interface](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you, with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't have to sign requests yourself.
