I did some clean up in my S3 buckets and deleted S3 bucket with weird names. Now my CDK stacks are in weird states. I have some CDK stacks running.

$cdk ls shows LambdaHoroscrape

I destroy the stack with those commands

cdk destroy

cdk destroy LambdaHoroscrape

Are you sure you want to delete: LambdaHoroscrape (y/n)? y

LambdaHoroscrape: destroying...

LambdaHoroscrape: destroyed

However the stack LambdaHoroscrape is still present, cdk ls confirms it.

How can I properly delete this CDK stack ?

Context: I wanted to delet the stack because my deployment ( cdk deploy ) showed this cryptic message

[%] fail: No bucket named 'cdktoolkit-stagingbucket-zd83596pa2cm'. Is account xxxxx bootstrapped?

I boostrapped my account with cdk bootstrap aws://{account_number}/{region}

Others encountered this cryptic error as well https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/6808

In the end, because of this error and eagerness to destroy the stack, I lost my DynamoDB data collected since 2 weeks.

CodePudding user response：

The message is caused by the fact that you deleted the CDK asset bucket created during bootstrapping. You'll need to re-bootstrap your environment to deploy there.

As for deleting, CDK deploys cloudformation stacks, so a sure way to delete something is to go to the cloudformation console and delete the stack.
