AWS SAM Deploy error - Validation Error | CreateChangeSet Operation Error

Question

I get the following error upon attempting to sam deploy --guided my lambda application.

Error: Failed to create changeset for the stack: {stack-name}, An error occurred (ValidationError) when calling the CreateChangeSet operation: Stack:arn:aws:cloudformation:ap-southeast-2:014009325916:stack/{stack-name}/f2212bf0-bb41-11ea-8ef3-0aa7af0536b6 is in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE state and can not be updated.

Some further context into this issue is that all of my lambda functions do not have authorization defined. Not sure if that is related but I'm stating it in the case that it is.

I frankly have no idea how to go about this issue. Any help is appreciated.

The error is encountered to my understanding when one does an initial deployment and that initial deployment fails. As a result of this, something breaks and the deployment service can not execute successfully. To fix this issue, simple delete the aws cloudformation stack and redeploy.

One can use the following command to delete:

aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <insert stack-name>

Might need to run sam build first so your resources can get the latest changes
