How to delete AWS ECS repositories which contain images using Ansible - amazon-web-services

Question

I want to delete an AWS ECS repository using Ansible.
My Ansible version is 2.4.1.0 and it "should" support this as you can lookup here: http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/ecs_ecr_module
However it doesn't work as intended because my repository still contains docker images.
Here's the code snippet:
- name: destroy-ecr-repos
ecs_ecr: name=jenkins-app state=absent
The resulting error message is:
...
The error was: RepositoryNotEmptyException: An error occurred (RepositoryNotEmptyException) when calling the DeleteRepository operation: The repository with name 'jenkins-app' in registry with id 'xyz' cannot be deleted because it still contains images
...
In the AWS Console it works perfectly fine. There's just a warning text which reminds you that there are still images left in the repository. But you're still able to force the deletion.
And now my question(s):
Is it somehow possible to force the deletion of the repository including its images?
... OR ...
Can I delete them with another tool separately before deleting the repository?
Maybe there simply is no implementation from the ansible side and I have to use the 'shell' module instead (and maybe open a feature request for that).
I'm very grateful for any advise.

Solution from his/her/its answer:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ecr/delete-repository.html#examples
History:
Ok, now I figured out, that there currently is no ansible functionality which supports the implicit deletion of images when deleting repositories on ecs.
BUT
I've implemented a workaround that despite its ugliness works for me.
I simply delete the image per shell module using the aws cli before actually removing the ecs repo.
Here's the snippet to do so:
- name: Delete remaining images in our repositories
shell: |
aws ecr list-images --repository-name jenkins-app --query 'imageIds[*]' --output text | while read imageId; do aws ecr batch-delete-image --repository-name jenkins-app --image-ids imageDigest=$imageId; done
- name: destroy-ecr-repo jenkins-app
ecs_ecr: name=jenkins-app state=absent
Hope that helps someone who faces this issue before ansible implements a possibility to delete images via built-in module.
