Error deleting subnet serviceAssociationLinks AppServiceLink related to Wordpress portal

Question

Hello,

I am writing due to our problem with being unable to delete VNet due to serviceAssociationLinks/AppServiceLink

The user has created a WordPress resource, which creates Vnet, Database, and ASP resources.

Afterward, the subscription was canceled which by default should delete all inactive resources. However, every resource was deleted except Vnet which points to deleted ASP resources. We have tried to recreate WordPress, however, we couldn't point old Vnet to a new ASP resource, because it is already bound to the old one.

we have also tried deleting Vnet using CLI below, however unsuccessfully:

[string]$ResourceGroupName = 'ResourceGroup'
[string]$VirtualNetworkName = 'Vnet name'
[string]$SubnetName = 'Subnet'
$CurrentAzureContext = Get-AzContext
$AzureRmProfile = [Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Abstractions.AzureRmProfileProvider]::Instance.Profile
$ProfileClient = New-Object Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Common.RMProfileClient($AzureRmProfile)
$Token = $ProfileClient.AcquireAccessToken($CurrentAzureContext.Tenant.TenantId)
[string]$AccessToken = $Token.AccessToken
[string]$ManagementEp = $CurrentAzureContext.Environment.ResourceManagerUrl
[string]$NetworkProfileName = (Get-AzNetworkProfile -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName).Name
[string]$Uri1 = "$($ManagementEp)subscriptions/$($CurrentAzureContext.Subscription.Id)/resourceGroups/$ResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/$VirtualNetworkName/subnets/$SubnetName/providers/Microsoft.ContainerInstance/serviceAssociationLinks/default?api-version=2018-10-01"
[string]$Uri2 = "$($ManagementEp)subscriptions/$($CurrentAzureContext.Subscription.Id)/resourceGroups/$ResourceGroupName/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkProfiles/$($NetworkProfileName)?api-version=2020-05-01"
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Delete -Uri $Uri1 -Headers @{"Authorization" = ("Bearer " + $AccessToken) }
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Delete -Uri $Uri2 -Headers @{"Authorization" = ("Bearer " + $AccessToken) }

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you are unable to delete your VNet because of a Service Association Link (SAL).

I suggested we create a service request for this and request our Engineer to delete the SAL from the backend.

Post which, you were able to delete the VNet successfully.

I hope we were able to resolve your issue and provide a timely solution.

Cheers,

Kapil.

Sometimes, the resources can be stuck due to the procedural way of deleting the resources. In those occasions, you can try to send a delete command from the resources page: [https://resources.azure.com/

Login the page and locate the VNET you are looking for to be deleted in similar way as below:

You can POST the Delete command from the right side as shown below:

If that doesn't help, try a force update of the resource from this page and try a delete again from portal or cli
