Note that since Juno you can force-delete an instance in any vm_state but the task_state must be None:

So if the vm_state is 'ERROR' and the task_state is 'deleting', you have to reset the task state using the reset-state admin actions API first to reset the task_state to None and then you can force-delete it.
