Route53: Cannot delete resource record set via AWS Step Functions

Question

Hello,
I am using a step function (aws-sdk:route53:changeResourceRecordSets) to delete a Route53 record and sometimes I am getting the following error:
```
[Tried to delete resource record set [name='xxxxxxxxx.some-domain.net.', type='A', set-identifier='i-xxxxxxxx'] but the rdata provided is invalid] (Service: Route53, Status Code: 400, Request ID: zzzzzzzzzzzzz)
```
Even though the record is there and I can verify it from the AWS console it does not work half of the time. Sometimes I can delete it immediately after creation, but sometimes I have to try again after 1-2 hours or even a day (always via the step functions).

I have no problems deleting it manually from the console.

Hi, @algert.

Have you checked the following articles?  
This article explains that the same error message occurs when the ResourceRecord has unmatched values in the delete action.

>An error occurred (InvalidChangeBatch) when calling the ChangeResourceRecordSets operation: Tried to delete resource record set [name='a.domain.com.', type='A'] but the rdata provided is invalid.

>You're performing the DELETE action for a resource record set, but the value for ResourceRecord doesn't match the value in the existing resource record set.

>Check and update the ResourceRecord value in your configuration file. Then, try to delete the resource record set again.
