That means:

`M-1 C-c C-d' turns hungry-delete on,
`M-- C-c C-d' turns hungry-delete off, and
just `C-c C-d' toggles it (i.e. turns it on if it was off and vice versa).

Read the "[Numeric] Arguments" section of the Emacs manual.

That means that pressing the delete key will not just delete the
character before the cursor but all the spaces and tabs before that as
well.
