while deleting CDK, it gives error of role and not deleting the stack

[tarunhere]

Describe the bug

I tried to delete the stack after the demo learning but it is failing from cli and UI as well with following error message in console (cli)

Are you sure you want to delete: CdkWorkshopStack (y/n)? y
CdkWorkshopStack: destroying... [1/1]
current credentials could not be used to assume 'arn:aws:iam::*****:role/cdk-hnb61111ds-deploy-role-59763#######-ap-south-1', but are for the right account. Proceeding anyway.

 ❌  CdkWorkshopStack: destroy failed Error: Role arn:aws:iam::59763*******:role/cdk-hnb6xxxxds-cfn-exec-role-59763*****-ap-south-1 is invalid or cannot be assumed

Role arn:aws:iam::59763*******:role/cdk-hnbxxxxs-cfn-exec-role-5976*****-ap-south-1 is invalid or cannot be assumed

and something similar is showing on UI as well. Just masked few IDs and username but rest all format is same.

please guide me as how can I delete this stack. I was just using this as my first project to learn CDK

Expected Behavior

When we type cdk destroy it should destroy all stacks but it is not destroying.

Current Behavior

CDK stack is not destroyed!!

@tarunhere can you check if you are using the correct access key while you are performing delete, sort of feel that the cli is not having right privileges if you use different profiles current credentials could not be used to assume
``

@tarunhere as discussed, it seems the role cdk execution role was deleted when you deleted the bootstrap stack, and you are not able to successfully bootstrap once after since there is an orphan bootstrap bucket unnoticed. Once the bucket is deleted, you could bootstrap again to get the cdk execution role created and then cdk destroy can clean your stacks as usual

Thanks for the support. It is fixed now
