Can't delete EC2 instance or ECS volume

I'm trying to remove an EC2 instance that was added by mistake while trying to figure out how to deploy my API code.

Every time I terminate it, another one appears.

I now have a list of terminated instances, and 1 too many running instances.

I also have an extra EBS instance which I need to remove but can't because the Delete option is disabled.

When I read the docs it says this should work, there is no mention of the delete option not being available.

I can detach the volume, but then another one appears.

This question is similar to another one. That one suggests the problem may be caused by a cluster, but I don't have any. I followed the instructions just in case but none are listed.

There is likely an autoscaling group that is recreating it. Open the EC2 console and click Auto Scaling Groups in the left-side menu. Delete the ASG and any remaining instances should automatically be terminated.
