Hi - I think the knowledge article that you have is correct one and should follow the same https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/check-for-active-resources. In addition you can also explore https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/introducing-aws-resource-explorer-quickly-find-resources-in-your-aws-account/. Also some resources, you can also have them in stop state

For services and resources deletion, you can try this one https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke or this https://www.npmjs.com/package/lumigo-cli#lumigo-cli-clear-account

Thanks for your answer! So this is getting frustrating... I set up the resource explorer and it found no resources. When I checked again half an hour later it found 466 resources. I'm not sure if the search just took a while or if these are now there because I set up the resource explorer. But more importantly: how can I delete them?
I tried out this tool called aws-nuke and excluded nothing. It deleted 149 resources. Now when I check for active resources (first link) I only get 19 hits. With the resource explorer (second link) I get 460 hits. Could it be that the remaining stuff is just always there? It's things like ec2:dhcp-options, ec2:internet-gateway, ec2:network-acl, ec2:route-table, ec2:security-group, ec2:security-group-rule, ec2:subnet, ec2:vpc, elasticache:parametergroup, elasticache:user, iam:role.
