How to delete AWS child account when removed from the organization?

Question

Is there an intuitive way of automatically deleting child accounts upon their removal from an AWS organization? this would be particularly useful when treating accounts like environments.

If there's a better way to handle this (possibly i am just thinking about this the wrong way?) I am open to other suggestions.

Answer 1

Sadly not. AWS Account can be closed only using console:

You can close an account only by using the Billing and Cost Management console, not by using the AWS Organizations console or its tools.

This includes accounts in AWS Org as well.
