Hi,

I want to uninstall GuestHealthLinuxAgent extension from my Azure VM.

But I am getting this error:

Failed to delete the virtual machine extension 'Subshop3/GuestHealthLinuxAgent'. Error: ajaxExtended call failed

I also tried PowerShell with no luck.

Thank for any help

    I had to delete the entire folder and then I was able to delete the extension in the Azure portal. 

    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waagent/Microsoft.Azure.Monitor.VirtualMachines.GuestHealth.GuestHealthLinuxAgent-1.0.37

    Thanks for your help

    Please try the following ways to uninstall the extension and let me know the results:

    1. Try removing the extension from the Extensions + applications page for the virtual machine in the Azure portal.

    1. Using CLI : az vm extension delete -g MyResourceGroup --vm-name MyVm -n extension_name
    2. Using PowerShell : Remove-AzVMExtension -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup11" -Name "ContosoTest" -VMName "VirtualMachine22"
    3. Check if the VM agent is installed and running.
