Active services in Free Tier

Question

Hi,

my AWS Free Tier ends in few days. I checked the Bills and tried to delete unused resources before I'll close an account. I deleted the only S3 bucket I've ever created. When I go to Bills, I see "Total active services: 2" (Simple Storage Service and Data Transfer) but I have none in any region. Does the above message means, I had two I the current period (1-31 May) or that there are still 2 services active, which I cannot find? Do I still need to do something before I delete my account to not to be charged for active resources?

Thanks in advance
M.
