updating aws_cdk.core.Stack id leaves previous CF stack deployed/behind

Reproduction Steps

cdk init app --language python
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk deploy

At this point AppStack is deployed.

Update

app = core.App()
AppStack(app, "AppStack")

to

app = core.App()
AppStack(app, "company-AppStack")

and run

cdk deploy

What did you expect to happen?

After creating new CF stack, old CF stack removed.

What actually happened?

There are now two CFs deployed, both old and new one, Running cdk destroy only deletes the new CF stack leaving old CF behind.

This is true. Unfortunately, given the information we have there's not a lot we can do about it. The only solution is to delete the stacks by hand.
