EBS volume leakage on test runs

I'm doing test runs with t1.micro, which forces in EBS block stores. After
the VMs are terminated the volumes hang around.

Is this normal behaviour, or is there a switch to say "drop the volumes
after VM termination"?

root cause is this is me not creating the AMI with "delete after
termination" set.

It looks to me that the volumes aren't being created with the auto-delete
flag...

I think you have to wait a while until the volume is terminated (not sure).
I've never had this problem before.
