Can not delete elasticache

Question

I need to delete two elasticache clusters. They are costing me a fortune. I am getting the following error message when I try and delete them. I really don't think I should have to pay for these from here on out if I can't delete them.

Error message when trying to delete Elasticache

Thanks

Hello.

What happens if I try to delete it using the AWS CLI?  
Are you getting the same error?  
If the same error occurs, you may be able to check the detailed log by adding "--debug" to the command option.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/mem-ug/Clusters.Delete.html  
```
aws elasticache delete-cache-cluster --cache-cluster-id my-cluster
```

Try running the AWS CLI with CloudShell.

It looks like it was an AWS hiccup. They are deleting now. Thanks
