Ability to delete a single resource (ideally by "resource name")

[blomm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've just run amplify delete and deleted all resources in my environment (it did warn me)

Describe the solution you'd like
What i really would have liked to do was delete a single api-gateway or storage or lambda

Describe alternatives you've considered
I ran amplify delete, but this clearly isn't what I was looking for.

Additional context
I read the docs, but maybe I missed something?

@blomm You can just an amplify remove <category> followup by an amplify push to remove a specific resource from the cloud.

[blomm]

are you sure? it's not documented.
when you say category, do you mean 'api' or 'storage'? ideally it would prompt me which resource with the category to remove, so I don't have to remove the whole 'category'

... update: it's not in the cli docs: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-cli
but it is mentioned in the getting started: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/start

... and it appears to be the whole category that you must delete :
"If you no longer want to use a service you can delete it with amplify remove {category-name}"

[kaustavghosh06]

@blomm It asks you to remove a specific resource as a part of the workflow when you run ampllify remove <category>. Optionally you can run amplify remove <category> <resource-name>

thanks @kaustavghosh06, are you able to update the cli documentation to include this information, for others in the future?
