Bug: Cannot Delete a Device if it was ever authorized for IFTTT
Contents
Description of the Issue
Once a device has been authorized for use by IFTTT, that device can never be deleted from SmartThings through the normal procedures, even if it is removed from the list of authorized devices for the IFT TT channel. Only support will be able to delete it.

Variable or Always Occurs: Always occurs
Prior/Intended Function
You should be able to use the IFTTT connect smart app to deauthorize the device, and then be able to delete it through the IDE. Instead, there is a bug, and the device will continue to show as being in use by IFTTT even though IFTTT itself cannot see it. This will prevent the device from being deleted.
SmartThings official response
They are aware of the problem. If you contact support and give them the name of the device and its network ID, they can delete it for you.
