yeah they are

if i remove them, import, update, then add the pending deletes back, would that work?

the pending deletes arent even there

in the state

i cant even

pulumi destroy

because the same thing happens...

even if i remove all references to the resource in the state file, pulumi up still tries to finish the delete. i guess those previous deletes are kept somewhere outside the state file?

ok my stack is completely broken now. cant destroy, can't update. unsure what to do here short of manually deleting all the resources

ok i managed to fix it by doing a series of manual deletes of some of the resources that were having issues , followed by

pulumi refresh

etc, eventually go there but it was pretty painful
