You may see an error when you try to delete an Elastigroup that is connected to an Elastic Beanstalk environment. This usually happens when the group is not in a ready state or when Beanstalk‑related resources are missing. Understanding why this happens helps you delete the group successfully.
A typical error message looks like:
- Group is in ERROR state and not in READY state, cannot delete it
-
Put the Elastigroup in maintenance mode
-
Open the Elastigroup in the Flexera console.
-
Turn on maintenance mode.
-
This helps stabilize the group for cleanup.
-
-
Detach any remaining instances
-
Go to the Instances tab.
-
Select each remaining instance.
-
Choose Actions, then Detach.
-
Do not select the option to terminate the instances.
-
Make sure you select the option to decrement the group capacity.
-
-
Delete the Elastigroup
-
Go back to Actions, then choose Delete group.
-
Confirm the deletion.
-
-
Check for missing Beanstalk resources if deletion still fails
You cannot delete a Beanstalk‑linked Elastigroup if any of the following were already deleted:-
The associated Beanstalk environment
-
Resources the group depends on, such as security groups or Beanstalk configuration components
-
-
Force delete the group if needed
If you receive errors during deletion, you can force the delete by clearing Rollback Beanstalk configuration in the delete dialog. -
Rebuild the Beanstalk environment if needed
If you need to attach a Beanstalk environment again, rebuild the environment using the Beanstalk console.
