Unable to delete my RDS instance

Hi jitesh,

Please try this solution.

Step 1 Stop & Delete (Console):

1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.
2. Go to the RDS service.
3. Find the problematic RDS instance.
4. IF RUNNING: Click "Stop" under Actions. Wait for it to stop completely.
5. Once stopped: Click "Delete" under Actions and confirm the deletion prompts.

Step 2 Stop & Delete (CLI):

If you prefer the command line, use the AWS CLI with the following commands.

1.stop-db-instance (replace with the actual instance identifier) - Stop the instance.

2.delete-db-instance (replace with the actual instance identifier) - Delete the stopped instance.

Hello.

Did you delete your RDS instance in the region where it was launched?
You need to delete the instance instead of stopping it.
Even if you stop an RDS instance, it will automatically start up 7 days later, so you will not be able to completely stop charges unless you delete it.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_DeleteInstance.html

Also, I think it would be a good idea to check if there are any RDS snapshots remaining.
Storage fees will be charged if RDS snapshots remain.

Hello

Ican help you troubleshoot deleting your RDS instance and stopping unexpected charges. Here's what you can do:

1. Check for Delete Protection:

RDS instances might have delete protection enabled, which prevents accidental deletion. Check the instance settings in the RDS console to see if delete protection is on and disable it if necessary.

2. Verify Deletion:

Double-check if the RDS instance was truly deleted previously. In the RDS console, navigate to the "Databases" section and look for the instance. If it's not listed, it might have been deleted successfully.

3. Avoid Accidental Creation:

If you haven't used the console in a while, it's unlikely you accidentally created a new instance. However, to be sure, review the "Recent Actions" section in the console for any instance creation activities.

4. Additional Resources:

For detailed instructions on deleting RDS instances, refer to the AWS documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_DeleteInstance.html

5. Stopping Charges:

To stop incurring charges for the RDS instance, you need to delete it permanently. If you're still unable to delete it, contact AWS support for assistance.
