I tried removing the resources from the state be specifying the urn

You may need to escape the urn with quotes to ensure your shell doesn’t handle

$

in the URN. If that still doesn’t work, you can

pulumi export

then remove the offending resources then

pulumi import

. As for the initial situation you end up in when switching regions, improving this is tracked in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws/issues/879 (and ultimately https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-terraform-bridge/issues/14).

Thanks @white-balloon-205 that was the issue, I didn’t see the

$

in the urn.
