I’m attempting to destroy an rds cluster from my stack and I keep getting the error “FinalSnapshotIdentifier is required when a final snapshot is required”, but I ended up deleting the cluster from my aws through their website and now its saying the resource isnt in the available state. What can i do to just completely be done with it

Have you tried running

pulumi refresh

? That should pick up the fact the resource was removed and record it on your state.

such an incredibly valuable tip to me. thanks so much problem solved!

If you want to destroy the whole stack, you can also run

pulumi destroy --refresh

to run the refresh first
