I am unable to delete my resource group. I am trying documentation but it's not worked for me. I have 3 resources in that resource group.

  1. Network Interface
  2. Virtual Network
  3. Disk

I am trying to delete this 3 resource individual but failed. NIC is attached with VM which is not shown in my portal.

Thanks in advance.

    Thank You! Issue solved by support team. This issue might be because of something struck at backend ARM level.

    Hello @Dhiraj Beri ,

    Please try the below provided steps:

    Open a web browser and navigate to https://resources.azure.com
    Log-in to the appropriate Azure account
    In the blade on the left side of the browser, expand subscriptions, then expand the desired subscription name
    In the blade on the left side of the browser, expand resource groups
    Under resource groups, expand the proper Resource Group Name
    Under the Resource Group, expand providers
    Under providers, expand Microsoft.Network
    Under Microsoft.Network, expand networkinterfaces
    Under networkinterfaces, select the NIC which you are failing to delete.
    Near the top of the content window of the browser, select the Read/Write push button
    Select the Actions(POST, DELETE) tab and click on Delete.
    Once this NIC is deleted, you can retry to delete the ResourceGroup.
    If it do not succeed and you receive an error, please share the error for further investigation.

    Alternatively, you may use the Azure PowerShell/CLI commands to remove the ResourceGroup. Please refer : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/delete-resource-group?tabs=azure-powershell#delete-resource-group

    I have this issue as well for a resource group: 

    "provisioningState": "Deleting"

    How can I fix this bug?

    I have this issue sometimes as well. Really annoying bug. I think it is because Azure has queued deletion of the resource group but has not actually processed it yet. This stops me from being productive when I deploy infrastructure because I make deletions and recreation all the time. If you call the API to manually delete the resource group, you will get the status back that is deleting. Please fix this bug Microsoft.
