Clear terminated EC2 instances from AWS console

I'm using Terraform to provision some infrastructure, but the debugging process causes a lot of terminated instances (destroy/recreate). When listing instances in the AWS console, all terminated instances are still listed. Is there a way to clear them? This is causing a lot of clutter.

Another (likely less popular) answer: Stop using the console. It's just a thin layer on the Amazon APIs. Write small scripts (using the AWS CLI or Boto) or a small website that will query AWS and show your infrastructure the way you want to see it.

You can remove the clutter by adding a search filter. Type Instance State : !Terminated in the search filter bar at the top. (note the spaces around :)
