How to delete the retained resources from aws cloudformation manually?

Question

I want to delete the retained resources manually after I delete the stack

I tried that

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name eksctl-simple-jwt-api-cluster --retain-resources [VPC]

and get that result :

Expecting value: line 1 column 2 (char 1)

Is that enough or there is another way cuz I think the resources didn't delete any help

Answer 1

It's a command-line problem with --retain-resources [VPC] . Try changing it to:

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name eksctl-simple-jwt-api-cluster --retain-resources "VPC"
