Cannot Find AMI using the Snapshot I Want to Delete

Question

The snapshot i want to delete keeps showing "snap-01dc799b10f3680ca: The snapshot snap-01dc799b10f3680ca is currently in use by ami-044643000f9620b07". However, i checked ALL the regions, i cannot find ANY AMI even existing. Nothing in my recycle bin too. How can i solve this?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

Can you find the target AMI with the following command?  
```
aws ec2 describe-images --owners your-aws-account-id --image-ids ami-044643000f9620b07
```

If you find it, try unregistering it using the command below.  
```
aws ec2 deregister-image --image-id ami-044643000f9620b07
```
