that’s a bug in Pulumi , unfortunately - what version of Pulumi are you using, and do you have a repro for this?

You can repair your stack by using <https://pulumi.io/reference/cli/pulumi_state_delete.html> to delete any resources from your checkpoint that the CLI is complaining about, but you will need to delete those resources manually (e.g. in your cloud provider’s console).

hmm, that’s unfortunate. Can you open an issue?

Yeah, it will be a bit tough to give an exact example to reproduce this but I’ll try to get to it this week.

thank you! let us know if we can help at all with getting your stack back into a good state, although this scenario is exactly what we had in mind when we created `pulumi state delete`

ive been editing state files manually, glad to see `delete` is implemented

yeah - ideally people never have to do that by hand :laughing:

hmm, whats the syntax for the resource item after `pulumi state delete`? using the full URN doesn’t work
