Describe the bug OUs created/registered in AWS Control Tower with LZA through organization-config.yaml are not deleted when removed from configuration file.

To Reproduce

2. OU(s) are successfully created and registered in Control Tower
3. Remove recently added OU from organization-config and rerun CodePipeline
4. Pipeline fails at the Prepare stage

Hi Todd! Thank you for utilizing the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS (LZA) solution. I have filed a feature request for this issue as the Create Organization Unit feature for LZA didn't include the logic to remove the Organization Unit. I will keep this issue open for further correspondence as the issue is evaluated in our backlog.

We ran into this problem as well. We are on LZA 1.8.1. We manually removed the OU and updated the pipeline state to get around this and get a clean pipeline again.
