Question

I am trying to delete aws vpc (a non default one). I am getting error that \"We could not delete the following VPC (vpc-xxxxxxx (xx.xx.xx.x/16)) Network interface \'eni-xxxx

Answer 1

In my case I had to first detach and delete 2 things in EC2 section (of the same region as your VPC):

1. Network & Security -> Elastic IPs. Delete the Elastic IP associated with your VPC
2. Network & Security -> Network Interfaces. Detach your VPC's network interface first (This took around a minute). Then delete.

Now try deleting the VPC.

Answer 2

Check 2 things.

• If you have a VPC Elastic IP Address you created in the VPC you are trying to delete.
• Check if you created a AWS ELB in the VPC.

Delete above two resources if present then you will be able to delete the VPC.
