SNS: Can't delete unsubscribed email subscriptions

The subscription listing (aws sns list-subscriptions-by-topic; the UI, too) shows a "Deleted" for a subscription that was probably unsubscribed.

{
    "Subscriptions": [
        {
            "SubscriptionArn": "Deleted",
            "Owner": "326764833890",
            "Protocol": "email",
            "Endpoint": "[email protected]",
            "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:326764833890:my-sns"
        },
        {
            "SubscriptionArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:326764833890:my-sns:65d23ee0-57e1-4ba5-86e7-2913bef8c9bf",
            "Owner": "326764833890",
            "Protocol": "email",
            "Endpoint": "[email protected]",
            "TopicArn": "arn:aws:sns:us-east-1:326764833890:my-sns"
        }
    ]
}

So, there's nothing to use to delete. When deleting via the UI, it shows an error complaining about the ARN being only one part rather than six.

It looks like there's no way to remove these, however, creating a new subscription for the same endpoint will simply replace it (once confirmed).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
