I was learning terraform by cloning some tutorial-based git repos (I used many) but it seems that the destroy function wasn't working fully. I have a subnet and VPC in us-east-1 which I am trying to get rid of, but I do not have permissions to delete the VPC or Subnet because there are two network interfaces attached. When I try to detach or delete the Network Interfaces, I get this error: Failed to detach the network interface. API error: "You do not have permission to access the specified resource.".
I imagine this is because they were provisioned with Terraform, but even as Root I have no control. The Terraform repos are all gone as well now, so I can't run another destroy function.
How can I force delete these? I can't leave them for much longer or I'll get charged.
Turned out to be two RDS instances, thanks. For anyone still stuck after this: ensure that your selected region matches your VPC's region when you search for your resource, I made that mistake earlier which is why I couldn't find it.
