[ANSWERED] Storage from terminated instance not added to existing instances

Question

I had three EC2 instances and ran out of space on the instance running Cloud9, so I terminated one of the other instance, however even after 8 hours the storage from the terminated instance has not been added to any of the other two instances.
The terminated instance stays terminated and does not display on the EC2 instances' dashboard.

Accepted Answer

I explored the AWS Docs and realized:

1. The storage isn't added (aka `attached`) automatically!
2. If you have already terminated your EC2 instance, like I had, you need to create a new EC2 instance, then `detach` the storage from this newly created instance and `attach` it to your existing instance and finally `mount` it.

**Deepest appreciation for the thorough and detailed official documentation of AWS.**
