I want to delete an aws directory but when I try, it gives me this error:
An Error Has Occurred
Cannot delete the directory because it still has authorized applications. Please deregister the directory before proceeding.
As it has said in the error message, I have to deregister it to be able to delete it. However, the directory is not even registered! and the 'Deregister' command is grayed out:
I also went into the 'Applications' section (in the left pane) and found no application.
What's going on here?

You can delete an AWS directory by using following steps,
Step 1 -: Get into AWS directory service
Step 2 -: Go to application management
Step 3 -: Identify apps & services bound to ad, marked as enabled
Step 4 -: Go to individual service/app and delete those

I had the same issue. I checked WorkDocs and there were no sites that I could delete. I had to create a new site and then go through the steps of deleting and selecting delete the user directory.

It also can happen because there are other dependencies not listed by the error message above, such as SSO pointing out to that directory.

This issue seems to be a shortcoming from Amazon. Amazon should have given me a proper error message. Anyway, I noticed that if I go to AWS Directory Service and try to delete the directory, it explains me the root of the issue:
So I went to AWS WorkDocs Service and deleted it:
