How do I recover orphaned stacks from a previously deleted environment?
Stacks from an environment that has been deleted will be labelled as orphaned stacks. When a new environment has been created within the same node, the orphaned stacks can be re-associated by following the below steps.
Within the environment that you want to associate your orphaned stacks with, click Stacks in the left hand menu. At the Stacks list, click on the three dots in the top right corner and select Show all orphaned stacks. Your stack list will then update to include any orphaned stacks.

Click into the stack that you want to recover, and select Associate.

Your stack will now appear in your stack list with total control. Repeat this process for each stack you want to reassociate.
