Deleting Data
Similar to updating, we must first fetch a record from the database and then call Taskers.Repo.delete to delete that record:

| task = Taskers.Repo.get(Taskers.Tasks, 1) | |
| Taskers.Repo.delete(task) | |
| #=> {:ok, %Taskers.Tasks{__meta__: #Ecto.Schema.Metadata<:deleted, "tasks">, id: 1, title: "Hello Reader"}} |
Similar to insert and update, delete returns a tuple. If the deletion succeeds, then the first element in the tuple will be :ok, but if it fails then it will be an :error.
