- hosts: testuser

  - name: removelines
    blockinfile:
      block: |

              ################ request ###################
              User_Alias S3_OPS=pams3fedqaadmin
              S3_OPS ALL=(ALL) ALL
              ####################################################"
      path: /tmp/test
      state: absent
      backup: yes

You'll need to move your markers from block to marker_begin and marker_end

You'll need to move your markers from block to marker_begin and marker_end
