Can't delete Lambda@Edge even though previously associated CloudFront distribution was already destroyed

Question

Even though CloudFront distribution which was assiciated with a number of Lambda functions deployed @edge was already destroyed a couple of days ago, I still can't delete my lambda: it keeps referencing me to the "documentation for Deleting Lambda@Edge Functions and Replicas." which says only one thing: you should wait for a couple of hours (not days)

Any suggestions what else could be preventing the lambda from being deleted?

P.S. I also double-checked that ALL versions of lambda do not have an association with any cloudfront distributions

Somebody already gave a very good reply about this subject: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61454243/12451088

Although, long story short, if the CloudFront distribution is deleted, check that there are no IAM roles associated to this Lambda function. In my case, I needed to delete it as there was one role associated. Removing this role let me delete all the versions of the Lambda function.
