Problems with deactivation of services and introduction of unknown billed services
Hello, A few days ago I received an email for my free trial which will expire in a few days. I've been trying to deactivate all my services but I can't find where to deactivate them. I try every day without success. Also every day there is a new service that is billed that is added without knowing what it is, because I never used it. If someone could explain to me how to deactivate them so that I don't get any more bills it would be really nice. Here are the services I am being charged for:
-

Hi, the only one you need to worry about is the Simple Storage Service (S3). If you log in to the S3 console you can check what you've got there - it looks like you might have some buckets you've made requests against. You can delete buckets, but as long as your buckets are empty and you're not accessing them then they shouldn't cost you anything.
The KMS request is likely related to some other service you used, so shouldn't be an ongoing issue.
The data transfer line items are for free internal transfers anyway.

Hello, thank you very much for your reply. I have looked at the s3 buckets but I have none. I've also looked in several windows of s3 and have nothing active. The same goes for the kms, I have nothing activated. The only thing I have activated was a few months ago an ec2 instance which I deleted some time later but it's weird all the services I'm billed for are never touched. I'm sure I'll be able to use it again in the future, but I'm not sure how to use it.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely Kent
