Unable to delete Amazon aws directory.

Question

I have deleted all the created workspaces I have created, then I am trying to delete the directory. While doing that I am getting the following error. 
```
"Cannot delete the directory because it still has authorized applications. 
Additional directory details can be viewed at the Directory Service console."
```

I have figured out the problem myself. We need to go to the Directory Service console (Link is in the error message) then delete the WorkDocs sites got created along with workspaces.
