How to remove custom category from backend?

Question

I've added some resources with lambdaTriggerPermissions custom category, but I can't figure out how to delete it.

tree -L 2 amplify/backend/

├── amplify-meta.json
├── api
│   └── tradedal
├── auth
│   ├── xxx
│   └── userPoolGroups
├── awscloudformation
│   └── build
├── backend-config.json
├── custom
│   └── mailinginfra
├── function
│   ├── mailer
│   ├── requestTrade
│   ├── xxxCustomMessage
│   ├── xxxPostConfirmation
│   └── xxxPreSignup
├── lambdaTriggerPermissions
│   └── triggersPermissions
├── tags.json
└── types
    └── amplify-dependent-resources-ref.d.ts

Is it manual operation?
I see it gets marked as "to delete", when I manually delete category from backend-config.json and cli-input.json
Plus amplify env checkout dev?

Hey @OperationalFallacy, how was the resource added? as custom resources created by amplify add custom are created under the custom folder and can be removed using amplify remove custom.

[OperationalFallacy]

No, these are custom "category" - added manually: define in backed-config.json, create folder, etc.

It looks like these custom categories get deleted with this sequence:

1. remove it from backend-config.json
2. amplify env checkout dev
3. amplify status shows category is getting deleted

Could you explain what the #2 step is for?

@OperationalFallacy the step 2 is to regenerate the amplify-meta file from the backend-config file.
Are you running into errors when you run push?
