Describe the bug
Can't delete test app from the dashboard

[dunethomas]

I'm having this exact same problem... I've tried everything and I can't delete an app

[jrmccoy64]

Hi I am having the same issue error here

same issue

[ideaplan]

same issue i am facing right now

[jrmccoy64]

As a follow up, I discovered my problem is that I tried to delete via the Amplify console, though I had originally created via the cli. In an attempt to clean up manually, I deleted an associated S3 bucket. Now, I’m unable to delete via cli as it fails due to bucket not found. There does not appear to be a way to manually clean things up. My backend is shown as deleted, but the app doesn’t delete, as any attempts start with trying to delete the backend, failing with bucket not found.

same issues unable to remove amplify app after setup as test app

Using the AWS CLI command for Amplify delete-backend-environment might help.
sample command aws amplify delete-backend-environment --app-id <YOUR_APP_ID> --environment-name <THE_BACKEND_ENVIRONMENT_NAME>

Hi, in my case the backend is already deleted and trying to use the cli produces an error because of a missing s3 bucket, which I deleted in an attempt to manually clean up.

I was able to delete after run the command proposed by @kirtap7 .

If you got stuck at the same point as me, you won't be able to see the app-id in the AWS console, to find it just try to delete app again and it will be exposed in the error message. After run the delete-backend command go back again to the console and delete the app.

Thank you!

[jrmccoy64]

Awesome! I was able to get it to work too.
Thank you for your support.

yes and many thanks to @kirtap7 ! was able to delete it using the cli command =)

[pedroapfilho]

Confirmed, after deleting the environment with:

aws amplify delete-backend-environment --app-id <YOUR_APP_ID> --environment-name <THE_BACKEND_ENVIRONMENT_NAME>

I can go to the Amplify Console and delete the app there.

Thanks @kirtap7 !

@swaminator I think this gives you a clue about what's going on, and how to fix it. I'll keep this issue opened until you guys fix it.

Im experiencing the same issue. When running the aws cli delete command suggested above I get:

"An error occurred (NotFoundException) when calling the DeleteBackendEnvironment operation: App d2ncju1xmfjiad not found".

The app id and environment name I am using are correct. Region is eu-west-1. When I first encountered this issue I manually deleted the underlying resources including the cloud formation template. I've tried deleting the app and environment through the console, AWS cli and Amplify cli but nothing is working.
