No matter how you like to participate in developer communities, Pulumi wants to meet you there. If you want to meet other Pulumi users to share use-cases and best practices, contribute code or documentation, see us at an event, or just tell a story about something cool you did with Pulumi, you are part of our community.

If you’re able to repro and run with verbose logging (<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/troubleshooting/>) during the first `pulumi destroy` that would be helpful in diagnosing what permissions the provider thinks were missing and what operation it attempted to make. Please file an issue against `pulumi-aws` with the  relevant details so we can take a closer look.

Separately, as a workaround, you can `pulumi state delete &lt;urn&gt;` so that the resource is removed from the state.
