Let's say you have a Salesforce connector (it is valid for any other available) and the token expired. The only way so far is to delete and recreate the connection again. Would be nice to keep the same connection and run the handshake again but it is impossible nowadays.

Let's say you have a Salesforce connector (it is valid for any other available) and the token expired. The only way so far is to delete and recreate the connection again. Would be nice to keep the same connection and run the handshake again but it is impossible nowadays.

If we try to delete a connector from the AWS console and it is associated with one or many flows, it will display this error:

Conflict executing request: Connector profile: xxxxxxx is associated with one or more flows. If you still want to delete it, then make delete request with forceDelete flag as true. Some of the associated flows are: [xxxxx, xxxxxx]
The trick is to delete the connector from AWS CLI thus:
      
aws appflow delete-connector-profile --connector-profile-name xxxxxxx --force-delete

After that you will be able to recreate the connection again
