AWS: Billing - how to delete a route 53

After playing around with AWS containers

i took a look at my billing page:

So let's delete this service.
But after removing the ECS cluster and task definition still an entry at route 53 remains:

The resource hostedzone/Z3JCO1N1BVHCKX can only be managed through servicediscovery.amazonaws.com (arn:aws:servicediscovery:eu-west-1:803404058350:namespace/ns-so7m3qbqbatzmlgn)

But the solution is the aws cli (for installation take a look here):

schroff@zerberus:~/AWS$ aws servicediscovery list-services
{

    "Services": [

        {

            "Id": "srv-46ffbkbwzupvblsb", 

            "Arn": "arn:aws:servicediscovery:eu-west-1:803404058350:service/srv-46ffbkbwzupvblsb", 

            "Name": "my-nginx-service"

        }, 

        {

            "Id": "srv-nicoewsbpufb3tlk", 

            "Arn": "arn:aws:servicediscovery:eu-west-1:803404058350:service/srv-nicoewsbpufb3tlk", 

            "Name": "my-ecs-service-on-fargate"

        }

    ]

}

schroff@zerberus:~/AWS$ aws servicediscovery delete-service --id srv-46ffbkbwzupvblsb
schroff@zerberus:~/AWS$ aws servicediscovery delete-service --id srv-nicoewsbpufb3tlk

and

schroff@zerberus:~/AWS$ aws servicediscovery list-namespaces

{

    "Namespaces": [

        {

            "Type": "DNS_PRIVATE", 

            "Id": "ns-so7m3qbqbatzmlgn", 

            "Arn": "arn:aws:servicediscovery:eu-west-1:803404058350:namespace/ns-so7m3qbqbatzmlgn", 

            "Name": "local"

        }

    ]

}

Take the id and delete this namespace:

schroff@zerberus:~/AWS$ aws servicediscovery delete-namespace --id=ns-so7m3qbqbatzmlgn

{

    "OperationId": "4kdit33kf7kfuawscpfgifcrdktynen5-jog7l6h7"

}

And the the hosted zone was gone:
