ElasticSearch service stuck on "being deleted"

Question

Hi, I tried to delete one of my ElasticSearch services 2 days ago and it has been stuck at 0% on "being deleted" since then. None of the options on the console seem to be enabled since it is "being deleted" and the instance always returns a 502 when I try to anything via the API.

Answer

This seems a case in which AWS Support should be able to help you.

Your best next steps would be to open a Support case, in case you have not yet a Support subscription, consider to upgrade to [Developer Support or Business support](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/plans/) depending on the urgency of your case.

Without looking at the internal logs or having more detailed information on the situation it is not possible to provide guidance, sorry.
