Elastic Beanstalk environment does not terminate

Question

I have been trying to terminate my elastic beanstalk environment for the past day. It had an RDS database associated which seems to be causing problems. I separately deleted the RDS database but it is still throwing errors when I try to terminate the environment.

Hello.

What kind of error is occurring specifically?  
Also, ElasticBeanstalk creates a CloudFormation stack on the backend, so checking the CloudFormation stack may reveal the cause of the error.  
If you don't need the ElasticBeanstalk environment, you should be able to delete it by directly deleting the CloudFormation stack.  
The following document focuses on security groups, but I think it can be used with other AWS resources in the same way.
