I'm looking for some help on how to remove all traffic sources from my AWS account for a fresh start. I recently deleted everything I thought I didn't need, especially since I'm using the free tier, but I'm still getting budget alerts saying I've exceeded 80% usage in just 5 days! I don't have any instances or snapshots active anymore. I think the VPC was using a lot of bandwidth, which I deleted, but I'm still unsure why the costs are so high. Any tips would really be appreciated as I'm new to AWS!

Remember to check other regions in your AWS account. Sometimes resources are created in regions you might not be currently viewing, so you might still have things active that you're not aware of.
I recommend using a tool like aws-nuke that can help remove all resources in your account quickly if you're really looking to start over.
You should check the Billing section in your AWS account to see daily costs. It'll help you identify where the charges are coming from, so you can get more clarity on your usage.
If you want a total fresh start, consider deleting your AWS account and opening a new one. You can set up an organization account to easily create and switch to different sandbox accounts for testing.
