Unfortunately I deleted the state directory in s3 and when I try to redeploy using sls deploy it throws below error:

NoSuchKey: The specified key does not exist.

For help, try the following:
• Run the command again with the "--debug" option
• Run "serverless support"
• Review the docs: https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/

tried removing .serverless and remove the app

but does not help
