I am using free tier on Amazon. I had one micro instance, which I terminated. If I create another one (micro) instance, will Amazon start charging me? I can still see my terminated instance in the instances list, but I cannot start or reboot it. Can I somehow delete it from the list?

Stopped instances don't incur charges, but Elastic IP addresses or EBS volumes attached to those instances do.
You are charged for Amazon EBS storage for the amount of storage provisioned to your account, measured in "gigabyte-months." Amazon EC2 instances accrue charges only while they're running. However, EBS volumes attached to instances continue to retain information and accrue charges, even when the instance is stopped.
Resolution. As part of an Amazon EC2 instance termination, the data on any instance store volumes associated with that instance is deleted. By default, the root Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume is automatically deleted.
EC2 Free Tier The Free Tier includes 750 hours of Windows, Linux, RHEL, and SLES t2. micro or t3. micro instances each month for one year. To stay within the Free Tier, use only EC2 t2.
You cannot perform any operations on the terminated instance. It is displayed in the list until one hour after deletion. After that time it will be removed from the list.
