+### Network interface deletion failure
+
+If you notice a `detachvpcfromlambdacustomresource` deletion failure in the Events section of the RES finalizer stack deletion, this most likely means the Lambda service either failed to delete or did not delete in time the network interfaces attached to RES Lambdas.
+
+You can manually delete these stale network interfaces by navigating to the **Network Interfaces** page within the [ Amazon EC2 console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2) and filtering by descriptions containing `AWS Lambda VPC ENI-`{RES-Environment-Name}``. There should be up to 14 network interfaces, though it could be fewer depending on how many Lambda was able to successfully delete. Manually delete these network interfaces, then restart the RES stack deletion.
