title: How to properly delete with AWS CDK
body: <p>I did some clean up in my S3 buckets and deleted S3 bucket with weird names. Now my CDK stacks are in weird states.
  I have some CDK stacks running.</p>
  <p>$<code>cdk ls</code> shows
  LambdaHoroscrape</p>
  <p>I destroy the stack with those commands</p>
  <p><code>cdk destroy</code></p>
  <p><code>cdk destroy LambdaHoroscrape</code></p>
  <p>Are you sure you want to delete: LambdaHoroscrape (y/n)? y</p>
  <p>LambdaHoroscrape: destroying...</p>
  <p>LambdaHoroscrape: destroyed</p>
  <hr />
  <p>However the stack LambdaHoroscrape is still present, <code>cdk ls</code> confirms it.</p>
  <p><strong>How can I properly delete this CDK stack ?</strong></p>
  <p>Context: I wanted to delete the stack because my deployment ( <code>cdk deploy</code> ) showed this cryptic message</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>[%] fail: No bucket named 'cdktoolkit-stagingbucket-zd83596pa2cm'. Is account xxxxx bootstrapped?</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I boostrapped my account with
  <code>cdk bootstrap aws://{account_number}/{region}</code></p>
  <p>Others encountered this cryptic error as well

  <p>In the end, because of this error and eagerness to destroy the stack, I lost my DynamoDB data collected since 2 weeks.</p>
