how do i delete a lambda@edge that isn't attached to a cloudfront?

Question

hi

I only have two cloudfront distributions in my account, neither of them reference my edge lambda, and yet when I try to delete it I get this error message:

```
Lambda was unable to delete arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:???:function:???:1 because it is a replicated function. Please see our documentation for Deleting Lambda@Edge Functions and Replicas.
```

The cloudfront it was associated with was deleted over a week ago and I am still getting this error when I try to delete.

How can I disassociate it from cloudfront when the cloudfront it was attached to is already gone?

Answer

Are you sure you have checked all the behaviors of your CloudFront distributions, to make sure the function is not associated anywhere?

If you are confident that is the case, and you've followed all the instructions in the documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/lambda-edge-delete-replicas.html then I'd recommend opening a case with AWS support to investigate further.

Answer

Because the lambda@edge are replicated to edge location, you need to wait for a while.
Detache it from CloudFront distribution and wait for a while for AWS to remove replicates.

Normally it should take no more that few minutes.
But I also had a situation when I was not able to remove it even after days, then I recommend to contact support and they will remove it for your
