Terraform Create instance profile not showing on console

Question

I've created three instance profiles generated by Terraform for a project I was attempting.

Unfortunately, the server on which I hosted the state file has been deleted and I forgot to destroy the resources. Ive attempted to destroy the resources through the console but unfortunately, they don't show up there but still show up on the advanced section of the instance profile when trying to launch on the ec2 console. Also rerunning the terraform code gives me an error saying the resource exists but it's not showing on the console. Any suggestions to fix this issue ?

Accepted Answer

I was able to finally solve this issue by running the commands aws iam delete-instance-profile --instance-profile-name   while on the root user.

HI,

Check your AWS Region: Ensure that you are checking the AWS Console in the correct region where the resources were created. Sometimes, users mistakenly look in the wrong region and don't see their resources.

Try to use the AWS CLI `aws iam list-instance-profiles` or `aws iam delete-instance-profile --instance-profile-name ` Replace  with the name of the instance profile you want to delete.

If the resources are still inaccessible and you're sure they exist, you may need to reach out to AWS Support for assistance. They may be able to help you identify and resolve the issue.

Seems an open case, though I suggest to read the thread and try some of the options in there: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/22111
