Errors during deployment to AWS using Terraform (cdktf)

Question

I am trying to create or update Lambdas on AWS using the Terraform CDKTF. During deployment, I am getting the error of

"An event source mapping with SQS arn (\" arn:aws:sqs:eu-west-2:*******:*****-*****-******** \") and function (\" ******-******-****** \") already exists. Please update or delete the existing mapping with UUID *******-****-****-****-***********"

**** are sensitive info I have swapped out.

Some of our Lambdas are called via SQS, which is what this mapping is referring to. I assumed the first fix would be to remove the mappings that might already exist (on a previous deployment that might have partly gone through), but I am unsure where to find them, nor if they are even available to delete. I originally assumed by calling cdktf deploy it would update these mappings and not throw the err at all.

Does anyone have any advice?

Your diagnosis seems right, there might be some stray resources left behind due to an aborted / unfinished Terraform run. You should be able to clean up after these runs by running terraform destroy in the stack directory ./cdktf.out/stacks/..../. That should delete all previously existing resources created through this Terraform stack.
